Questions to be

answered: What is Direct

Harvesting? And what

would happen if it continues?

Direct harvesting and Habitat destruction are both similar. They both mean: The destruction or removal of any species from its habitats.If the destruction of species from there habitats, then their species won't exist any more.The number of species from a habitat will decrease slowly until that habitat is extinct.There is many reasons a habitat could get extinct.People can be hunting them down as a sport, they can be hunted down for food, or they can be hunted down used for many other reasons.

These are some examples of extinct animals. There is many

more other species that are close to extinction. Many habitats could extinct from climate, environment, genetic diseases, and many more

other things that causes extinction.

Extinct Animals

People can help these species by caring for them, supplying them with a safe, clean shelter. People can also stop hunting them down for no reason, and hurting them.

People can also help stop extinction by not littering. Many animals thing that garbage is there food, so they eat it and they die, which causes

extinction.

An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either

few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.
