Why is it going extinct?

The great white shark is vulnerable to being endangered or extinct for many reasons like:

Humans are over hunting them and using them for their fins

Fisherman leaving their larger fishing nets floating in the oceans which they can’t escape and die

The pollution of their habitats by garbage and other human waste in the oceans

Lack of food because people over catch fish and leave nothing for the sharks and then eat the garbage and waste we put in the oceans

How humans can protect it

Humans can protect the sharks by reducing the amount of hunting they do for their fins

Not leaving those large nets floating in the oceans

Reduce the amount of fishing we do because most of it turns into waste anyway and the sharks eat fish as well

Reduce the amount of waste that goes into the oceans
