Endangered species are animals and plants at risk of extinction due to habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and poaching. Many species, like tigers, elephants, pandas, and marine turtles, face declining populations. Deforestation and urban expansion disrupt ecosystems, forcing wildlife into smaller spaces. Illegal hunting and pollution further threaten survival. Conservation efforts, including wildlife protection laws, habitat restoration, and breeding programs, aim to prevent extinction. Public awareness and responsible actions—such as reducing waste and supporting conservation organizations—play a crucial role. Preserving biodiversity ensures ecological balance, benefiting all life on Earth. Protecting endangered species secures a healthier planet for future generations.
