Solution
Endangered species: These are the species whose either number is declined or habitat is shrunk to such an extent that they can be extinct in near future if conservative measures are not implemented. e.g. Lion-tailed monkey (Lion-tailed macaque), Lesser florican.
Endangered species can be saved by the following ways:
- Controlling pollution can have a positive impact on animals.
- Habitats of the species should be protected and human disturbances should be limited.
- Use of eco-friendly resources.
- Public awareness about the importance and protection of wildlife.
