Habitat loss is connected with fragmentation which influence the increasing amount of extinction. The specific climate is essential to be maintained for some species. If it is changed some species may not be able adjust to new conditioins such as extreme weather conditions like drought or flooding and long term changes in water and air temperature

During the past 30 years the population of giraffes has staggered‚ with numbers decreasing so significantly that these animals are on the verge of extinction. Records from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show in 1985 there were approximately 155‚000 giraffes. In 2015‚ it was discovered that there were only 97‚000 left. Some of the major causes of the species population decline are poaching‚ political strife‚ and loss of habitat in Africa. Prior to 2015‚ giraffes were
