If you are passionate about the subject, we invite you to finish reading our article, where we will introduce you to 5 endangered animals. But be aware that the list is long, very long. What to be really worried about.

The Tiger

This superb cat is almost extinct and it is with him that we start our list. Already, four species of tiger have completely disappeared. Only five subspecies still exist, which are found scattered throughout Asia. Speaking of figures, we can say that a little less than three thousand specimens still resist this extinction.

If the tiger is one of the most endangered animals, if it is constantly tracked it is for its priceless skin, eyes, bones and even for its organs. In the illicit market, the skin of this remarkable cat can cost up to $ 50,000.

In short, hunting and the disappearance of its habitat are the main reasons for its extinction. So you see that the threat is very serious and that you really have to move to save it.

The Leatherback Turtle

The leatherback turtle is classified as the largest and most powerful in the world, capable of swimming in almost all oceans and seas of the earth, from the tropics to Antarctica. They make these fabulous journeys in search of a place to nest and to bring food to their babies. In about 40 years, its population had increased from 150,000 to 20,000!

These leatherback turtles are seriously endangered for two reasons, because of the plastic that invades our seas and that the turtles take for food. And because these turtles are losing their ecological habitat, due to the construction of large hotels on the seashores, that leatherback turtles are fond of nesting.

The Giant Salamander of China

In China, this amphibian which can measure up to 2 meters has become one of the succulent foods, the most requested, to the point that it makes the population of these fish in great danger of extinction. These amphibians whose scientific name is Andrias Davidianus, and which unquestionably participate in the balance of biodiversity are also threatened by the pollution of wooded rivers in southern China.

The elephant of Sumatra

The plight of the Sumatran elephant is alarming, crucial. There are less than 2000 Sumatran elephants and unfortunately, their population is decreasing. Deforestation and wild hunting which escapes all control are the essential causes of its extinction. And it is quite possible that in the next twenty years, this majestic animal no longer exists. It is therefore urgent to take action and do everything to ensure its survival.

The Royal Eagle

This bird is symbol of beauty, strength and prestige. It is one of the most popular and admired in the world because it is part of our fantasies and collective unconscious.

It is found almost everywhere, but mainly in Africa, North America and Great Britain. The golden eagle has gradually been dispossessed of its natural habitat due to the development of cities and constant, excessive deforestation. Its existence is therefore increasingly threatened.
