Endangered Close Up

More and more animals are becoming endangered, from large animals like tigers and rhinoceroses to small animals like bumblebees. Endangered animals live in many different environments. Habitat loss, the loss of food sources and the lack of places to build nests and other homes are among the reasons that animals are becoming threatened. People are working hard to protect endangered animals with sanctuaries and breeding programs. The numbers of some endangered animals have increased from these programs, and endangered animals are being re-released into the wild.
