Endangered Species

One problem for animals is that their habitat is sometimes destroyed by humans. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed for people. Building areas for people to live pushed animals out of their natural homes. Forest and swamp habitats are the most threatened. Trees are cut down to make room for homes and businesses. Swamps are filled in so that neighborhoods can expand.

QUESTION 1

Find a word from the paragraph that has the same meaning as the natural home or environment for animals?

Endangered Species

Today, some type of animals are an endangered species. This means there are very few animals of that kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. When animals die, they are gone forever.

Endangered Species

Humans must prevent the extinction of animals due to the loss of their habitat. We have to become more aware of animal populations when considering building and expansion projects. Other options may not be as convenient, but the survival of the animals needs to be taken into consideration.

Who does the word 'we' refer to?

Endangered Species

Humans must prevent the extinction of animals due to the loss of their habitat. We have to become more aware of animal populations when considering building and expansion projects. Other options may not be as convenient, but the survival of the animals needs to be taken into consideration. Better planning and an awareness of how human actions affect animals can make a difference. It is still possible to maintain a diverse animal population for future generations to enjoy.

There are actions we can take to help prevent extinction from happening?
