Texas endangered species

Endangered Species are at risk of extinction because of human activity, changes in climate. Changes in predator-prey ratios, etc., especially when officially designated as such by a governmental agency such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Endangered species  
means that animals or plants are endangered of something  where they can die. It might mean climate change , predators , or something that might make them die .
There are 174 Endangered species in Texas. 145 of them are  animals and 29 are plants . They are becoming in risk because of the extinction of human activity , climate ..etc .
All those species are endangered because they each have a climate where they can survive . There is a huge number of animals endangered but not that much plants . Well how can i say this there are a lot of plants but much more animals and we need to do something as a class to save them it's our environment / community we need to work hard to make it better .
I think that we could save them by telling everyone about how they are endangered . I think if we all come together we can make a difference . Everyone wants to make their community better so i think if we all make a huge project like transporting animals where they belong where they can be safe and do the same thing with plants that's how we can all have a better community , life , environment and make our Endangered species Better and safe .
