Many plants and animals are endangered in India due to a number of reasons:
- Hunting of animals for commercial purposes.
- Pollution due to chemical and industrial waste, acid deposits.
- Introduction of alien species.
- Reckless cutting of the forests to bring land under cultivation and inhabitation.
As a result of these activities about 1300 plant species are endangered and 20 plants species have become extinct. Quite a few animal species are also endangered.
