Endangered Species

An endangered species is a species existing in small numbers at risk of extinction usually because of human activity. Examples of factors that impact the extinction of animals would include changes in climate, and changes in predator or prey ratios. However human activity also greatly endangers the population of animal species. Examples of human influence on animal populations and their ecosystems would include pollution, over hunting, overuse of environmental resources, and poaching. Do you think that human activity is impacting animal populations more than natural factors? Why or why not? Also, give some examples of endangered species you know.
