However, he is endangered because he lives in the forests, which are being destroyed all the time. This is called habitat destruction.

8. Adopt An Endangered Animal • Sponsoring an endangered animal means that you can pay some money each month towards that animal. I wanted to sponsor an Orangutan and found out that if I donate $10 to www.wwf.org.uk then I will receive the following things, a recent photograph, information about the animal and a cuddly toy. Sadly, you don’t get to keep the animal. Its probably for the best, as you wouldn’t know what to do with a Giant Panda anyway.
