So, two reasons for species to become extinct or endangered.
00:22
The first is habitat loss.
00:29
Okay.
00:29
So, habitat loss may, you know, like lead to extinction of species.
00:36
So there are a lot of human activities like deforestation, urbanization, also conversion of natural habitats for agriculture and infrastructure development.
01:18
So all these, you know, factors, they result in the destruction of critical ecosystems.
01:25
And as the habitats, they shrink or they become smaller, then the species, they are left with limited amount of resources.
01:33
Okay.
01:33
As a result, they have reduced reproductive opportunities and then they slowly, they begin to struggle for food or like shelter or even breeding sites and that leads to their population decline.
01:47
The second reason is over exploitation...
