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
