Let’s Learn

Why are some plants and animals becoming extinct?

 Change of climate

Some plants and animals need certain weather to survive. If there is any

change in weather, they die.

 Hunting

Since life started on Earth, humans hunted animals to eat or use their fur

and skin to make clothes. Some people now hunt for fun.

Hunting has caused many animals to go extinct.

 Deforestation

This happens when we cut down trees

and plants to build houses. This has

caused many animals and plants to

lose their habitats. There is not

enough space for these special

plants and animals to live

anymore.
