Question

Quite a few species of plants and animals are endangered in india. why???

Answer 1

because we human beings are too hungry not alone for meat but also for all other consumption articles

Answer 2

A very important answer to this question is environmental degradation .A large number of trees r cut down for getting timber and medicines. Trees r also cut to get space for settlement,setting up indrustries & agriculture.This is endangering plants species. People cut trees for their income but they always forget to plant more trees.Now coming to animals. The animals r living in bad enviroment. No body care for them. Lakhs of animals are killed for food.Hunting &poaching is done on a large scale. They r also killed for their valuable body parts like horns & skin. For example, fishing is continuing endlessly. Will this not cause threat to aquatic life ? of course it will. The animals are also getting homeless as the forests are cleared off. And no forest means extinction of many wild animals.Do anyone care for dogs and cows on indian roads.NO.Similarly other animals r also not cared . It is obvious that they will be endangered.

Given above r the reasons for the animals and plants of India to get endangered.

Answer 3

1.Because of the rapid degradation of the environment.

2.There is rapid deforestation which leads to a loss of habitat and food for animals. This means that the animals have no place to live and survive. As such, they become endangered.

3.Also, some animals have been killed or poached for sport or money that their skins etc. can fetch.

4.This also leads to animals and plants becoming endangered.

5.Then there are rapid weather changes. When climates change, plants cannot adapt and animals migrate. This again makes them endangered.

6.There are several other reasons. You can check websites of sancutary asia or world wildlife fund - india or wildlife trust of  india for a list of endangered animals and plants. And what is being done to save them.
