Endangered Species

There are many species that have gone extinct and ones that are endangered. Many of these animals are endangered because poachers kill the animals for their furs, horns, tusks, and feathers. To some people, the life of the animal is less valuable than their body parts. Because of this there have been many animals that have become endangered.
Another way that animals have become endangered is from habitat loss. This can happen when the trees in their environment are chopped down and used for other things. It can also happen when their resources run out or when humans start building their homes and buildings in their habitat. They can also become endangered by running out of food, having too many predators in their area, and isolation of populations.
One animal that is endangered is the Asian Elephant because of their valuable ivory tusks that can be used for piano keys or other ornamental keys. It is also threatened by losing its habitat. The Panda Bear because their food source and homes (the bamboo) is being chopped down for other use. Many other animals are effected by this problem also. 
There are many other animals that are affected by these things and have become endangered. We can help them by restoring their habitat to them, stop poaching them, or leave them in their habitat free from danger to reproduce enough to become more common.
