  • question_answer
    Quite a few species of plants and animals are endangered in India. Why?  

    Answer:

    Human beings influence the ecology of a region. They utilise the vegetation and wildlife. The greed of human beings leads to over-utilisation of these resources. They cut the trees and kill the animals, creating ecological imbalance. As a result some of the plants and animals have reached the verge of extinction. About 1,300 plant species are endangered and 20 species are extinct. Quite a few animal species are also endangered and some have become extinct. The main causes for this major threat to nature is greed of man. Pollution due to chemical and industrial waste, acid deposits and reckless cutting of the forests are responsible for the imbalance.
