Help write a 250-word article about protecting animals in English.

Natural disasters lead to the extinction of animals. But almost all the extinction of wild animals is caused by human beings. Humans build dams and roads, cut down forests and pollute water sources. There are hundreds of cases in which humans catch wild animals as pets. Due to the destruction of tropical rain forests, many wild animals in tropical rain forests are on the verge of extinction.

In order to protect wild animals, as human beings, we should practice a greener lifestyle. By saving water and fossil fuels, we will help protect the wild animals around us. We should use public transport as much as possible and turn off the electrical appliances when not in use. We should also understand what causes global warming, thus destroying migration patterns and habitats. Besides, we should try our best to avoid damaging the natural ecosystem in our region. Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats, especially if there are no natural predators to control species. Invasive plants can kill or destroy native plants that provide food for wild animals. In this commercialized society, we should buy products that are friendly to wildlife. This means that we should avoid using products made from threatened or endangered animals, and remember that some endangered animals are killed by traps, traps or hunters chasing other wild animals in the same habitat. Finally, we should join a community organization to rebuild wildlife habitats or solve local pollution. Like many others, we can always donate money to wildlife reserves or other organizations that protect wildlife species.
