What is wildlife?
‘Wildlife’ means all the plants, animals and other living things found in the
wild. These can be mammals such as squirrels, reptiles like the sand lizard,
fish, insects, and tiny little animals that you can’t see easily.
What is happening?
In the UK alone, there are about 37,000 different species of animals and 65,000
different species of plants. Sadly, though, over the last 100 years more than 170
plant and animal species have completely disappeared.
Today, about 15% of all British wildlife is still at risk, especially animals such
as the otter and the brown hare. Unless we do something to help, things will
only get worse.
The main reason why some types of plants and animals are becoming
endangered species is that their habitats are lost or have changed. Animals
chimpanzee
like moths, birds and bats have lost their homes as people have cut down
the hedgerows they live in. Also, a lot of ponds are no longer suitable for
the animals and plants to live in because they are polluted, or people have brown hare
filled them in.
