Brochure Making Activity by Ramagya students
An endangered species is a type of organism that is threatened by extinction. Species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation.
Dinosaurs, for instance, lost their habitat about 65 million years ago. The hot, dry climate of the Cretaceous period changed very quickly, most likely because of an asteroid striking the Earth. The impact of the asteroid forced debris into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of heat and light that reached Earth’s surface. The dinosaurs were unable toadapt to this new, cooler habitat. Dinosaurs became endangered, then extinct.
Human activity can also contribute to a loss of habitat.Development for housing, industry, and agriculturereduces the habitat of native organisms. This can happen in a number of different ways.

The topic "Endangered Species" was chosen as the activity for the ISA project. With so many species at risk of extinction, the project is working to help raise the public profile of the world's endangered species, through the emotive power of wildlife films and photos. The project hopes to engage people with the natural world. We will only succeed in rescuing species from the brink of extinction if people know about their plight, importance and value.
