We consider a specie in danger of extinction when its existence is in danger in the world. This happens because we hurt the natural resources from which all the animals depend on

There are many possible reasons: illegal hunting, indiscriminate cutting of trees or changes in the ecosystems of the animals and climatic changes.

Many animals die because their not prepared to face these changes

Nowadays men is the worst thread for animals because they polluted and destroyed their natural habitats

Biologically, to go on living, animals develop biodiversity but this is not enough to stop the men's actions and it can produce terrible consequences for the equilibrium of the ecosystem and the planet
