animals and plants to be
threatened with extinction?
forest fires
Human activities are the main factors
that threaten animals and plants. These
activities include illegal logging, hunting,
deforestation, and pollution.
rubbish dumping
Unplanned deforestation for logging,
development, and construction of roads leads to
the destruction of wildlife habitats.
Meat, skin, fur, ivory, horn, and fat of the animals are hunted
illegally and used for clothing, food, jewellery or traditional
medicines. Rampant poaching causes wild animals to be
threatened with extinction.
