Endangered species are animals and plants that are at risk of becoming extinct. This means that their populations are very low, and if we don't take action, they could disappear forever. Factors like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change threaten their survival. Examples of endangered species include the Amur leopard and the Sumatran orangutan. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these vulnerable species. Organizations work to create safe habitats, enforce laws against poaching, and raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity. By supporting these efforts, we can help ensure that future generations can enjoy the beauty of our planet's diverse wildlife.
