Although you are living in a technological developed era but still instead of large and tall buildings; the natural green sights represent the true beauty of this world. Everyone dreams to have closer relation with nature but only few have succeeded to do so. This technological advancement has added extreme comfort to our lives but it has ruined the natural environment and habitat of wild animals. Many animal species have been extricated and many have been announced as endangered animals. Extinct animals are the animals that have been totally eliminated from the world or you may hardly found few of those animals.
List of endangered animals includes such species that have been threatened to be extinct but still there are possibilities to save them. Many animal rehabilitation organizations have taken recovery actions for providing safe habitat for breeding of these species. Top ten endangered animals include Siberian tiger, polar bear, pacific walrus, leatherback turtle, magellanic penguin, bluefin tuna, monarch butterfly, mountain gorilla, giant panda, and javan rhinoceros.
Experts take into account conservation status while defining the list of endangered animals. Conservation status indicates the likelihood of endangered animal’s existence. Many factors like remaining number of animals, population increase and decrease, breeding success ratio, possible threats and other such factors are examined to know conservation status.
Climate deterioration is the popular and foremost reason for extrication of valuable animal species. Global warming and green house effect are known as the major factors for damaging of natural animal habitat. Rapid climate change and deforestation are not allowing many animal species to adjust with the climate and changing environment. There are few animal species that have successfully adopted to survive in changing environmental conditions but others are unable to do so.
Many governments have started big plans to secure endangered animals. US government has formed an organization with the name of United States Environmental Protection Agency to protect forests and natural habitat for wildlife. Endangered animals hunting has been disallowed and legal conviction has been defined for the person involved in illegal hunting. Moreover many developed nations like Pakistan have started efforts to save endangered species by developing projects like Changa Manga.
