10. The extinction of at least 500 species of
animals has been caused by man, most of
them in this century. Today there are
about 5,000 endangered animals and at
least one species dies out every year.
There are probably many more which
become extinct without anyone knowing
11. The first step towards saving animals is to
learn as much as possible about them. If we
know where and how they live, and what they
need to survive, then it will be easier to help
them.
Sometimes we forget that we have quite a
number of endangered animals in our own
country that need protection.
