Many factories began to surface across the nation, however, the factories released harsh chemicals into the atmosphere. As a result, animals unaccustomed the the release of detrimental chemicals in the environment began to die at a rapid rate. Moreover, after the industrial revolution commenced a plethora of factories began to grow. As a result, our pollution levels grew significantly, contaminating the environment for many animals. Factories across the United States are disconcerted with what kind of damage they can cause to animals with the release of toxic chemicals. Yet, not only factories have caused an immense amount pollution across the United States. Most human beings are responsible for the high pollution rates in our nation. Unknowingly at times, we throw out are garbage in incorrect places. Whether it is on the street, a lake, or the ocean, it can have a negative toll on many animals.

Animals such as the northern spotted owl is now on the verge of extinction due to deforestation. In 1974, the tacoma pocket gopher was registered as extinct due to deforestation. Similarly, in 2007 the columbia basin pygmy rabbit was declared extinct. Human construction on forests is having a negative impact on the forest life. It essential to limit the amount of forest space we consume to help avoid the loss of such vital
