15 animals in danger of extinction😱.
At present, many species are endangered. Here I show you 15 of those animals:
Bluefin tuna: although measures have been taken to reduce its fishing, it is the main ingredient of sushi.
Mexican gray wolf: the situation of this species is more than critical. 40 years ago it was declared a species in danger of extinction. Despite the efforts for its conservation, it has completely disappeared in its natural habitat.
Irrawaddy river dolphin: curious freshwater inhabitant of South and Southeast Asia, dies because the level of salinity in the water rises.
Snow leopard: this species is threatened by the invasion of its habitat by humans in China, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
Asian Elephant: endangered due to the deforestation of the areas they occupy, and their poaching to obtain the precious ivory of their tusks.
Mountain gorilla: The gorilla of plain, seems safe, but his companion, the mountain, could disappear completely in 2025.
Jaguar: the main reason that is making the jaguar disappear is that they are hunted to market their skin.
Orangutan of Sumatra: its hunting and sale as pets and the large palm oil extraction industries are the causes of its critical situation.
Tiger: its population has declined to more than 60 percent due to human invasion of its habitat and poaching (powers are also attributed to it in oriental medicine).
Polar bear: It is perhaps the biggest victim of the effects of climate change. Its habitat has been seriously threatened for several decades by the melting of the Arctic poles, which causes the isolation of the species.
Vaquita marina: lives in the Gulf of Mexico and in 2012 various organizations have counted only 200 copies of this beautiful and small porpoise. Its habitat is very small; Fishing with nets is encouraging their disappearance.
Leatherback turtle: it is in serious danger of extinction together with the leatherback turtle. Although increasingly attract tourism, accidental fishing, water pollution and hunting to get their shell, meat or eggs.
Magellanic Penguin: The widespread rise in temperatures on the planet is responsible for the critical situation of this type of penguin native to southern Argentina.
Panda bear: less than 2,500 specimens in natural habitat. This is the figure that sums up the present and the future of the panda. This species, originally from southwest China, is a symbol of the fight against deforestation and illegal hunting.
Rhinoceros of Java: hunted mainly for its properties that are attributed to its horn in traditional Chinese medicine and as a decorative object. There were only about 29 specimens on the island of Java, Indonesia, in 2012.
