What are the main causes of species endangerment?

• Natural selection

• Seasonal migration

• Genetic diversity

• Habitat loss, pollution, climate change, overexploitation, and invasive species.

How do habitat destruction and climate change contribute to endangerment?

• Habitat destruction increases food supply for all species.

• Habitat destruction and climate change contribute to endangerment by reducing biodiversity and altering habitats, making it difficult for species to survive.

• Habitat destruction creates new ecosystems for endangered species.

• Climate change leads to more stable weather patterns.

Which of the following actions can help prevent species from becoming

• Supporting wildlife trade

• Recycling and reducing waste

• Clearing forests for agriculture
