Many species today are impacted by threats from changing environments. These threats can pose a great amount of harm to a specific species‚ which in turn‚ can ultimately cause it to be endangered. A species is considered endangered when a threat is relatively high and a population is rapidly declining in size. One of the most effective ways to identify an endangered species is through acknowledging habitat loss‚ introduced species‚ pollution‚ and overconsumption. This paper will investigate two endangered

modified‚ but these tend to happen at a gradual pace. This allows most species to adapt to the changing environment‚ where only a slight impact may take place. However‚ when changes occur at a fast pace‚ there is little or no time for an individual species to react and adjust to the new circumstances. This cause disastrous results‚ and for this reason‚ rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species becoming endangered. Nearly every region of earth has been affected by human activity. It
