Every day, species around the planet are going extinct. And for each species that goes extinct, many more become and remain endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change , illegal hunting. Most of them are caused directly or indirectly by man.

We will show you a list with 5 species that are critically in danger of extinction, but there are many more.

these animals in the island of Java, Indonesia, in 2012.

2-Red panda

The Eastern Himalayas are home to many red pandas. They are a unique species, so preservation of their habitat is of great importance since they have specific diet requests. 

3-Tiger

Its population has diminished by more than 60% due to human invasion of its habitat and, again, poaching (also thought to have powers by oriental medicine).The largest feline on the planet, it roamed freely from Turkey to Russia. Currently, subspecies have disappeared from the Caspian Sea, Java, south of China (only alive in zoos) and Bali.

4-Asian elephant

Mainly endangered due to deforestation of their habitat and to poaching to obtain the valuable ivory of their tusks.Currently ivory trade is prohibet but it is still practiced on the black market.
