There are many reasons behind this. One reason is that people destroy their habitat for our needs. We cut down trees for our paper and furniture. We sometime destroy their habitat by accident. We have had many oil spillages that have killed large amounts of fish. Also, another reason is that people hunt animals. We hunt them for furs, food, and even medicine. These are some of the reasons why animals are becoming extinct.
Plants can go extinct because of lack of soil/ essential needs. They could also be like animals because certain plants have different goods they can make. Also plants from millions of years go may of went extinct with the dinosaurs.

Endangered animals are endangered due to many reasons. Some of them are more endangered than others. Here's a list of some reasons why some animals are endangered:
- Illegal hunting and poaching
- Habitats destroyed or polluted
- Changes in climate or food sources
- Competition from invasive species
- Lack of food, water, and living space (overpopulation)
Sadly, most animals become endangered mostly because of man. Either man is building Skyscrapers or tearing down their natural habitat, or man is killing them off. In Africa, the government had to set up a program to protect elephants from poachers, who would kill them just to get their ivory tusks. The American Buffalo is also protected because people were killing too many of them. In Canada, moose are hunted, but only a few hundred permits are issued each year, depending on the population of moose in any given year, and depending on each province, as each province has its own laws and regulations on what animals to protect.
Basically because of human intervention;
-Pollution
-Over-exploitation
-Destruction of Habitat
-Invasive Species
-Global Warming
Note, though that not all animals are becoming endangered. There are many animal species that are thriving and growing in population despite other scientific records that may indicate otherwise.
Mostly, animals get endangered by harmful intrusion of man. Habitats become damaged, polluted, or destroyed, many times because of people looking for profit. Of course, hunting and poaching play a large factor as well, this is also for profit. While it could be broken down into several different categories, this is the basic cause.
Because of many reasons.
1. Because other animals (or humans) are competing for it's food.
2. Because humans are hunting for it's body parts.
If this keeps continuing and people don't do anything to protect the species, animals (and plants) will eventually become extinct.
3. its habitat is being destroyed.
Endangered animals become extinct because they are in danger of dying out and sometimes they do. They can lose their habitat and people have hunted animals to extinction because they are greedy and want them as a trophy.
Nowadays trees are becoming extinct due to many reasons. Factors like deforestation for making furniture and other items trees are being cut in large amounts. Paper is being used in abundance and also being wasted in abundance and this wastage leads to cutting many trees. Also to establish new roads ,buildings etc people are cutting trees to make space for more empty land.
Trees are not becoming extinct. There is certainly much wastage, particularly in natural forests where man is wreaking havok, but no tees are not yet becoming extinct.
Animals have always been going extinct, that's the way of nature. 99% of all animals that have ever lived are now extinct. But man's activities have accelerated extinction in many cases, by overhunting, habitat destruction, pollution, and introduction of non native species into areas where they didn't belong, where native animals had no defense for them.
All species become extinct with time - that is how evolution works. However mans influence on the Earth means that the rate of extinction is accelerating without old species being replaced by new species. We are entering a mass extinction event caused by man.

What is the difference between endangered and extinct animals?
Endangered Species are ones that have a very small population and that population is at a greater risk of becoming extinct. Many species that become extinct never make to the endangered species list. Extinct Species are ones that are either known (documented) to be extinct or are so few in population that a recovery is considered highly unlikely even under excellent conditions.
