Earth centuries ago, species went extinct from natural causes, for example, they were unable to adapt to bad weather and other difficult conditions However, animals are now dying out faster than ever because of human activities It is estimated that, until the 18th century, one species disappeared from the Earth every four years By the 19th century, this had increased to one species per year By 1975, was 1,000 species per year, and today animals are disappearing at the alarming rate of more than 40,000 species per year Page | There are many factors that can cause an animal or plant species to become endangered, and one big one is the destruction of their habitats Deforestation and soil, air, and water pollution are usually the main culprits For example, the population of critically Sumatran orangutans is now less than 10,000 on their home island of Sumatra, Indonesia, due to deforestation and farming Another cause of endangerment is from humans exploiting wild animals Uncontrolled hunting of whales in the last century, for example, resulted in many whale species becoming critically endangered The high demands for animal parts stems from their use in foods or medicines or their values as decorative objects For example, the ivory tusks of elephants are used to make jewelry, and the price is high enough that people risk being arrested and jailed to go after these animals Introducing a non-native species to an environment by humans, either intentionally or by accident can also cause species endangerment In Florida, large pet snakes such as the anaconda and the python have been released into the large Everglades swamp The snakes have thrived in their new environment, and now compete with and may soon overwhelm the swamp's alligators Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Unity Conservation of Nature (IUCN) try to raise awareness of threatened animals and plants These organizations collaborate with government agencies to save threatened or endangered species and to make new laws that will protect them But to really protect plant and animal species now and in the future, the public needs to be educated on
