  2. Introduction to the WildCare Trust Welcome to the WildCare Trust! In 2005 this trust was set up with the aim of protecting and saving animals from becoming extinct, to do this, we rely on the help from our generous members.

  3. General facts about endangered species • Species that are “threatened” are at risk of becoming extinct • Many reasons as to why animals become threatened are because of humans • On January 5 2011, 1,170 species of animals were classified as endangered. • Half of the 1,170 reside in the United States of America

  4. Threats to endangered species Threat 1, Climate Change: Birds now migrate at different times in the year and some birds don’t migrate at all because the climate is now suitable all year round, it also affects when animals go in and out of hibernation, for example, the Hawaiian Monk Seal. Threat 2, Hunting: Humans hunt different species for their own benefit, such as seal hunting or killing animals for their fur, for example the Maned Wolf. Threat 3, Loss of habitat: Due to deforestation and natural disasters. The American Alligator is at threat of losing its habitat. Threats 4, Predators: Sometimes one species is outnumbered by its predator species, the Spiny Turtle for example is at risk from being hunted by its predators.
