There are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals from extinction.
First, we should have different activities to raise people’s awareness of the need to protect these animals. Funds should be also raised for projects to save them. Second, endangered animals should be provided with appropriate habitats to live in and breed successfully. Then, government should have a good policy to improve the lives of people who live in or near endangered animals’ habitat so that they can stop illegal trade of endangered animals and their associated products. Finally, there should be campaigns to stop people from using fashionable wildlife products.
