Behavior is really important for endangered animals to survive. But there are many new challenges that make this harder:

• Social Structures: When animals can’t act normally around each other, it can hurt their chances of having babies. This makes the mix of genes weaker over time.
• Habitat Loss: When their homes change, animals need to change their behavior quickly, and they often have a tough time doing that.
• Human Interaction: More meetings with people can make animals stressed out and cause them to act in ways that aren’t good for their health.

To help solve these problems, we need to focus on a few important things:

1. Habitat Restoration: This means fixing up their homes so animals can behave naturally again.
2. Behavioral Research: We need to learn more about what animals need. This helps us create plans that really help them.

If we don’t do something soon, many species might get even closer to disappearing.
