7 Most Endangered Species In The World
The most endangered species or species that are nearing extinction are easily the most beautiful, exquisite, elegant and majestic creatures. As humans, little do we realise the amount of damage we are doing to our planet's flora and fauna. As creatures with unparalleled levels of intellect, we humans are actually responsible to safeguard and protect the delicate elements of our holy planet. Terribly disappointing though is the fact that it doesn't quite look that way.
8 MOST POISONOUS CREATURES IN THE WORLD
This article looks at 7 species that are nearing extinction. These beautiful creatures are on the verge of leaving this wonderful planet forever, primarily owing to drastically changing atmospheric conditions that inflict irreparable damage on this planet.
Here are 7 most endangered species that are almost completely extinct looking at the numbers in which they existed prior to inexorably heinous human interference.
The Sumatran Orangutan
The Sumatran Orangutan, owing to unbridled human expansion, is losing habitat at a rapid rate. There are approximately about 7,500 of them left. But here is the tragedy -- their population is declining at an unforgiving 1000 per year. A director of a leading Research institution that looks into endangered species says the Sumatran Orangutan will become almost completely extinct in the next five years.
The Iberian Lynx
The Iberian Lynx is the most endangered cat species in the world. Poaching and human expansion are solely to blame. They feed mostly on rabbits, the population of which have also miserably dwindled. Just a little over one hundred of them survive in delicate areas of Spain. The Spanish government took up the initiative to save this species by releasing thousands of rabbits into the wild. Rabbits are the lynx's favourite cuisine. If they were to become extinct, they'd be the first feral cat species to leave the planet in roughly 2500 years.
The Golden Headed Langur
Placed in protection in the year 2000, the number of these species is just about 70. They are uncontrollably declining in number, with wildlife protection institutions not knowing what to do. They might become extinct in a few years - say two or three, if their habitat is continued to be infiltrated by human expansion and unfavourably changing climatic conditions.
The Giant Panda
Another species that are on the verge of complete extinction. About 2000 pandas exist today in China, Vietnam and Burma. Captive breeding and other forms of protection have barely helped.
The Sumatran Tiger
Tigers, easily the most majestic of all cats, are on the verge of extinction. Poaching and habitat intrusion are the main reasons. The Sumatran Tigers are just about 600 in number. Although tall claims speak of them being placed under protection, over a hundred of them still live dwell in unprotected areas.
The Hairy Nosed Wombat
The hairy nosed wombat is one of Australia's marsupials that are on the verge of becoming extinct. The Australian hairy nosed wombat is the largest of all wombats. They are known for their sharp, powerful claws and burly build. The animal is hunted for its extremely soft fur. Today, less than a hundred of them survive in a protected area in the Australian continent.
Black Rhinoceros
Hunted for their tusks mostly in Vietnam and Indonesia, poaching has reduced the number of this majestic species to a sorry 70 plus. The Black Rhinoceros are easily among the most endangered species on the planet. Credible reports say that these species may become completely extinct in the next four years or so.
