    WHY THIS ANIMAL IS IN ENDANGERED

    BY ALIA SURAYA BINTI MOHD ALI FROM 1 SAYYIDAH


    (2022)
    ENGLISH
    There are several animals in danger of extinction.
    where there are rescued so they do not have to be in
    danger, especially from the destruction of their
    habitat or from hunting.
    Some of the animals is danger of extinction are:

    . TIGER
    .POLAR BEAR
    . WHALE
    .PENGUIN .B
    UTTERFLY

    TIGER

    Tigers are threatened from hunting and habitat loss all


    over the world. Tigers are considered “Endangered” by
    the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of
    Nature).

    To help tiger populations recover, WWF is working to


    improve tiger habitat, reduce human-tiger conflict and
    engage local communities.
    Sadly, tigers are on the brink of extinction. Just over a
    century ago, 100,000 wild tigers roamed across Asia.
    Today, fewer than 3,900 live in a mere four per cent of
    their historic range. The largest tiger population can
    now be found in India, home to half of all remaining
    wild tigers. Much of this decline has occurred in the
    past decade.
    Polar Bear
    As our planet warms and sea ice melts, polar bear
    populations are increasingly at risk.
    The largest bear in the world and the Arctic’s top predator, polar bears
    are a powerful symbol of the strength and endurance of the Arctic. At
    least two thirds of the world’s polar bears live on Canadian territory,
    giving Canadians a special relationship with —and responsibility for
    — these bears. The polar bear’s Latin name, Ursus maritimus, means
    “sea bear.” Its an apt name for this majestic species, which spends
    much of its life in, around, or on the ocean — predominantly on the
    sea ice.

    As sea ice melts, more and more polar bears can be found resting
    along Arctic coastlines.

    whale
    Threats include habitat degradation, contaminants, climate and
    ecosystem change, disturbance from whale watching activities, noise
    from industrial activities (including oil drilling), illegal whaling or harvest,
    reduced prey abundance due to overfishing, and oil spills.
    In 1970, the blue whale was listed as endangered under the Endangered
    Species Conservation Act, the predecessor to the Endangered Species
    Act (ESA). When the ESA was passed in 1973, the blue whale was listed
    as endangered throughout its range. It is also listed as depleted under
    the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

    PENGUIN
    The threats are numerous, including habitat loss,
    pollution, disease, and reduced food availability due
    to commercial fishing. Climate change is of
    particular concern for many species of penguin, as
    the sea ice that they depend on to find food or build
    nests is melting before their eyes.

    Why are penguins endangered?


    Penguins are facing many challenges, from climate
    change to fishing net entanglements that put their
    populations at risk.

    BUTTERFLY
    What is happening in our global landscapes to cause
    such alarming losses? Butterflies face a wide range
    of threats including habitat loss, climate change,
    disease, pesticides, and invasive plants. More
    localized threats, such as over grazing and roadside
    mowing, can also have negative consequences.

    What causes butterflies to be endangered?


    Yet these butterflies, once a familiar sight, are
    plummeting toward extinction due to
    landscapescale threats from pesticides,
    development and global climate change. That's why
    the Center is working hard to win them protection
    under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

    6 Easy Things You Can Do To Save Endangered


    Species.
    1. Learn about endangered species in your area.
    2. Visit a national wildlife refuge, park or other
    open space.
    3. Make your home wildlife friendly.
    4. Native plants provide food and shelter for
    native wildlife.
    5. Recycle and buy sustainable products.
    6. Harassing wildlife is cruel and illegal.

    The lesson we get is that we need


    to save these animals from
    extinction.
