How can we protect animals from getting extinct?

protecting an animal is important because they need food. they have a location of how they live. they need care. Protecting animal is important because people enjoy having them. such as pets. _____________________________________________________________________ Answer 2 (by different user) protecting an animal from extinction is also protecting the sequence of the food chain. ex: If one animal farther down the food chain dies out, everything above it will die out because of the lack of food. The lack of food (for the animal that was eating the animal that is now extinct) will eventually wipe out that species because it's main food source has died out, therefore this also occurs in the upper levels of the food chain until everything above the fist extinct animal has died out. this would not occur as much with hebivores and/or omnivores
