How might a species become endangered?
- Habitat loss: As forests and wild areas are cleared to make way for humans, many habitats are destroyed, leaving animals homeless.
- Disease: Introduced by humans or invading species, new diseases can attack plants and animals.
- Climate change: Weather becomes more extreme, unpredictable and varied with climate change andthis can affect habitats.
