Recently Extinct Animals of the Indian Subcontinent

In the distant past, several species of animals became extinct through natural causes. There might have been a change in the climate of a particular region, and the plants or animals on which the species lived could have died out because of the change in the weather. Or one animal might have been destroyed by another that was stronger or faster. But ever since human beings have been on Earth, and especially in the last hundred years, animal species have become extinct because of hunting, pollution, or the destruction of the places where they live. Explosive, unsustainable human population growth is also essential cause of the extinction crisis. This paper lists out the animals which recently got extinct due to human intervention particularly in India. Mrs. Juvaria Azmath | Ms. Sushmitha Raj.
