Introducing the WildCare Trust The WildCare Trust is an organisation which helps to endangered animals all over the world. Extinction due to loss of habitat, hunting, or other threats which endanger animals’ lives. Adoptions help animals – looked after by the trust. Make people aware how animals are dying out and what they can do to stop extinction. The WildCare Trust is an organisation which helps to endangered animals all over the world to avoid extinction due to loss of habitat, hunting, or other threats which endanger their lives. It does this by allowing people to adopt animals of their choice to that they are well looked after by the trust and, not only to save the animals, but also to make people more aware that animals in the world are on the verge of extinction and we can help to stop that and to preserve all life on out planet.

General Facts about Endangered Animals Endangered animals: animals whose existence is threatened by external factors. Animals are usually categorised based on how endangered or at risk they really are: ‘Critically Endangered’, ‘Endangered’ and ‘Vulnerable’. The traffic light code is used to categorise status of species; abbreviations are used to categorise threats. Endangered animals are animals anywhere in the world whose existence is being threatened by many factors such as climate change, loss of habitat, predators or hunters. Animals are usually categorised depending on how endangered or at risk they really are. Animals are categorised ‘Critically Endangered’ if they have an extremely high risk of becoming extinct in the recent future. The category ‘Endangered’ is used to put animals in who have a very high risk of becoming extinct in the near future. ‘Vulnerable’ is the category used to describe species which have a high risk of becoming extinct in the later future. At the WildCare Trust, we use the traffic light code to categories species.

Examples of Threats to Endangered Species Generally, species become endangered due to climate change, loss of habitat, predators or hunting. Climate Change is a result of human activity – excessive combustion of fossil fuels. Loss of habitat – ice caps are melting, forests are increasingly being destroyed; migration causes problems. Predators – they outnumber their prey. Hunting – it is still allowed in lots of countries just ‘for fun’. Generally, species become endangered due to climate change, loss of habitat, predators or hunting. Predominantly, climate change (global warming) is coming about as a result of human activity i.e. excessive combustion of fossil fuels releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing the earth to heat up. For some species, this is a major threat as they are adapted to living in cold conditions (such as the polar bear). Loss of habitat is also another major threat all over the world in places such as the arctic where ice caps are melting and animals, such as polar bears, have to spend much more time in the cold water. Forests are increasingly being destroyed for industrial use and animals such as the Imperial Woodpecker are losing their homes and are, consequently, having to migrate to unfamiliar areas. Predators also play a big part in the endangering of a species because they outnumber their prey reducing the population of that species and leading them to their extinction. All over the world, hunting is still considered a sport which is carried out for fun and species are suffering because they are not killed with good intentions, but just for humans’ pleasure.
