Endangered SpeciesFrom 1 BC to 1800 AD, on average, one animal species became extinct every 55 years. From1800 to 1900, one species disappeared every year and a half. From 1900 to the present, one specieshas become extinct each year. If the current rate of habitat destruction around the world continues toescalate, 1,000 species will be lost each year by the turn of the 21st century.Extinction is really a natural process, and occurs because a species can’t adapt to changingenvironmental conditions. If more offspring die than are born, the species will eventually die out completely. Changes in climate, violent storms, droughts, disease, and lack of food are among thenatural causes of extinction.

The underline word can replaced by:

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: Humans use an incredible amount of energy for powerappliances, cars, and machines to keep our society going. Much of the energy comes from nonrenewableresources such as coal, oil, and nuclear reactors. Not only do we pollute the land when wesearch for coal and oil, but we pollute the air when these fuels are burned (for example, car exhaustproduces both carbon monoxide and lead, which can approach hazardous levels in large cities). Acidrain, a result of carbon monoxide and sulfur deposits in the air, has destroyed the life in whole lakes,as well as countless trees in Canada and the eastern United States.Industries have long used rivers and lakes as dumping grounds for their wastes.Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), by-products of the manufacture of electrical equipment, paints, andplastics, are just one example of the chemicals dumped into waterways. PCBs are known to causedeformities in water birds and fish; fortunately, it is now illegal to dispose of PCBs in water.Liquid nitrogen fertilizer used on crops eventually runs off into lakes and rivers, causing algaeblooms and an increase in waterweeds. This clogs the water so that fish and water-dwelling animals(and the animals that depend on them) cannot survive.Taken of: www.kidszoo.org Endangered Species/Grades

HABITAT DESTRUCTION: People require land – lots of it – for homes, businesses, cars,Agriculture, and recreation. As the human population increases, more and more land is developed, and wildlife is pushed from its natural habitats. Some animals can adapt quickly to new conditions,but most are unable to find new homes or new sources of food. Loss of habitat is the primary reasonthat animals are endangered.Tropical rainforests are home to approximately 3,000,000 species of plants and animals, morethan in any other environment on Earth. These rainforests are being cleared at the rate of 50 acres.EVERY MINUTE! At this rate, all rainforests will have disappeared in 85 years. It is estimated thatmany hundreds of tropical species will become extinct before they are even discovered and described.OVERHUNTING: Few people alive today remember when vast herds of bison and flocks ofpassenger pigeons could be found in the United States. Seeing those huge numbers of animals, manysettlers had the idea that the populations were limitless and were there for the taking.
