Ways to prevent animals and plants from becoming extinct
1. We should conserve endangered species of animals and plants to
prevent them from becoming extinct.
2. Some of the ways to conserve endangered species are as follows:
a) creating protected area
Certain foreste have been declared by our goverment as
protected areas and permanent forests reserves. For example,
Taman Negara, Pahang is a wildlife sanctuary and forest
reserve.Hunting and logging are prohibited in this area.
b) setting up a breeding or rehabilitation centres
For examples:
i) The Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre in Sabah
rescues orang utan from deforested area.
ii) The Turtle Sanctuary Centre in Terengganu is particularly for
protecting eggs of endangered turtles.
c) practise selective logging
Only large and mature trees are cut down for timber. So that,
forests are not totally destroyed and this enables animals to
continue living in the forests.
d) reforestation
Forests which have been logged should be replanted.
e) organising campaigns
Againts illegal and excessive logging
f) educating the public
About the importance of protecting and conserving animals and
plants.
g) avoid consuming or buying
Products made from any parts of endangered animals.
h) enforcing the law and regulations
For example, the National Forestry Act to prevent illegal
logging activities and the Wildlife Protection Act to prevent
illegal hunting.

Endangered animals and plants
1. Today, many species of animals and plants are facing the threat of
extinction.
2. Their numbers are getting fewer so it is feared that they will be
completely extinct from the world in the near future.
3. These species of animals and plants are called endangered
species.
4. Examples of endangered anamals species are as follows.
Rhinoceros Hornbill
5. The Rafflesia, pitcher plants and Venus flytrap are examples of
endangered plant species.
Rafflesia Pitcher plant
6. Animals and plants are facing the treat of extinction because of
human activities. Such as activities include:
a) illegal and excessive logging
b) illegal and excessive hunting
c) excessive development
Illegal and excessive logging
1. Trees are cut to supply timber. Timber is widely used in
construction as well as to make furniture and paper.
2. Logging activities become a threat to many species of plants and
animals when they are carried out on a large scale(excessive).
3. Illegal logging activities are carried out by irresponsible people.
They carry out logging activities without licences or logging
outside licensed area.
4. These illegal and excessive logging activities not only destroy
many plant species, but also destroy the habitat of many animals.
5. Excessive logging also causes the animals to lose their food
source and it can lead to the extinction of the animals. For
example, giant pandas are facing the threat of extinction because
of the destruction of their habitats. The giant pandas only eat
parts of bamboo trees. Many of these trees have been cut down
for development and agricultural.
Illegal and excessive hunting
1. Most animals like tigers, elephants, blue whales and rhinoceroses
are facing the threat of extinction because they are being hunted
by humans.
2. These animals are hunted down for food, sport and to get their
valuable parts.
3. Excessive hunting can greatly reduce the number of these animals
and may lead to extinction.
Excessive development
1. As the world's population increases, there is more demand for
food supplies, shelter and other basic needs.
2. To fulfil these demands, there is an increase in human activities
such as agriculture and development.
3. Forests are cleared excessively for farming, to build houses,
factories, highway and other development projects.
4. Deforestation due to excessive development becomes a threat to
many species of animals and plants. For examples, many wild
animals lose their habitats. They have to find new habitat
elsewhere. Without a place to live, no animal can survive.

Extinction of animals
1. Some animals have become extinct. The Dodo and dinosaurs are
examples of extinct animals.
Dodo Dinosaur
2. A species of animals is said to be extinct when it no longer exists
in this world.
3. Other animals that have become extinct are as follows.
Aquagga Tasmanian wolf
4. The animals are extinct because of some factors:
a) The change in climate or weather
For example, dinosaur are extinct because of the change in
climate on the Earth millions of years ago.
b) The destruction of their habitat
The main cause of the extinction of the dodo was the
destruction of the forest which cut off the dodo food supply.
c) Excessive hunting
The aquagga, Tasmanian wolf and hairy mammoth are
examples of animals that are extinct because of human
activities such as excessive hunting.

Competition among plants
1. Plants need water, carbon dioxide(from air) and sunlight to make
food.
2. Plants also need nutrient from healthy growth.
3. Plants get water and nutrient from the soil.
4. If there are too many plants growing in the same place, the place
will be overcroeded and the resources become limited.
5. The plants will compete to get enough sunlight, water, nutrient
and space.
a) For example, when there are too many seedlings planted in a
pot, they will compete to get enough space, water, sunlight and
nutrient to grow.
b) This will result in unhealthy growth.
6. Plants in the rainforest have different heights because they
receive different amounts of sunlight, space, water and nutrient.
7. The plants face strong competition to get sunlight, space, water
and nutrient.
8. In a competition, plants which are stronger will win. The plants
will grow better and healthier. Weaker plants will have stunted
growth, wilted and eventually die.
