It can be seen that human beings are changing the environment in all respects through their

actions and by their habits. This has resulted in two serious consequences. The first is that

many kind of rare animals are killed. The second is that the habitats where these animals

are living is badly destroyed. As a result, the number of rare animals is decreasing so

rapidly that they are in danger of extinction. Plant and animal extinction lead to a loss of

biodiversity. In order to make sure that these rare animals do not disappear, efforts have

been made to protect the environments in which they live. Scientists have made list of

endangered species and suggested ways to save them. Laws have been enacted to protect

wildlife from commercial trade and over hunting. Many organizations have been set up and

funds have been raised. A number of wildlife habitat reserves have been established so that

a wide range of endangered species can have a chance to survive and develop.
