Habitat loss is the destruction of habitats due to reasons such as agriculture and logging.
Endangered species are considered to be plants, animals, or other organisms whose populations face potential extinction due to a rapid decrease in population. This can be potentially devastating for an ecosystem, as biodiversity is crucial to a healthy ecosystem. There are different threat levels that relate to the severity of the population's numbers. There are also several main reasons behind the presence of endangered species. The main reasons are habitat loss and climate change. Hunting and poaching, invasive species, and pollution can also play a role. Habitat loss is the destruction of habitats due to reasons such as agriculture and logging. Climate change has caused habitat loss and changes in temperatures in sensitive habitats. Hunting can lead to a detrimental dip in population numbers, making it hard to reproduce at a high enough rate to keep a healthy population. Invasive species cause issues by outcompeting native species, as they may have no other predators. Different types of pollution have detrimental side effects on species, such as being poisonous or being mistaken as food.
