Hint: There are many types of plants and animals which are endangered in our biodiversity. If any one of the animals becomes extinct then the biodiversity gets disturbed and the life on the earth may become difficult.

Complete Answer:Biodiversity is the variety and variability seen in plants and animals. Diversity in nature’s way. Nature has no monogamy or uniqueness in structure and functions, even at the micro-level also. The organisms whose numbers have declined rapidly and the species that might be wiped off from the earth in near future are known as Endangered species. Keeping a track of Endangered Species W.W.F (World Wildlife Federation) or the I.U.W.C (International Union for Wildlife Conservation) published a book containing the details of endangered and threatened species of flora and fauna known as Red Data Book or Red List Book. The Red data book symbolizes a warning for those species which are endangered and have to be protected. Otherwise, they are likely to become extinct (disappear from the earth forever) soon. Two names of the endangered species are Red fox and Single horned rhino. As humans, we need to take the responsibility of protecting our biodiversity. We should protect the endangered species from becoming extinct.

Note:We know that there are many species that are endangered as pointed out by a notable ecologist E.O. Wilson stated that every year nearly 10,000 species (27 species per day) become extinct throughout the world. The existence of man would be affected if this trend of extinction continues.
