Animals
Many animals die because of environmental problems. Oil spills, droughts, floods and deforestation are some environmental problems that lead to the dying off of animals or ecosystems. Polar bears, for instance, are predicted to become nearly extinct due to global warming and the melting of glaciers. Birds are also feeling the effects of environmental problems. Many migratory birds are unable to find food in warmer climates and are dying, according to a November 2006 article on ABC News Online.
