Others are killed because they eat crops or attack the farmer's animals. Some animals such as tigers and elephants used to live in great numbers in countries like India. People have hunted them, so there are not many today. However, there are now laws in India which protect them. In South America, many different birds and animals have lost their natural homes in forests because thousands of trees have been cut down or burnt. People then used the land for farming or building roads and towns. Some species are nearly extinct. Only few of them live in some parts of the world. Others live only in zoos or special parks.
