The extinction of animals,also population growth of the new land, development, overfishing is due. Almost humans activity
And,This happens by alien species Doing expulsion native species.

I heard it The Food chain page.
I feel sad.
So, there is a Natural international protection agencies .They summarized in the Red List about animals endangered and extinct animal.

General statement
I will introduce General statement of Endangered species.
Extinction (EX) is that of species that are extinct in captivity of course in the wild
Extinct wild (EW), that the species is extinct in the wild.
Endangered IA class is (CR), that the species likely to become extinct near future is very high,
Endangered IB class (EN) is that of the species likely to become extinct near future .
Endangered type II (VU) is that of the species likely to be dying out.
The quasi-endangered (NT), there is no danger of dying out now, is that of species extinction risk might increase in the future.
Lack of information (DD) is that of a species do not provide enough information to give an estimate.
Local population at risk of extinction (LP) is something the possibility of extinction is high
Mainly, to endangered IA-class endangered Class II is referred to as the endangered species.
