۱۰ گونه جانوری که شاید تا چند سال دیگر منقرض شوند را بشناسیم!
منبع :تايم
کرگدن جاوه ای شمار برجای مانده: شصت مورد
Javan RhinocerosIndonesia and VietnamNumber remaining: fewer than 60Perhaps the planet's rarest large mammal. Its horn is prized by poachers, and its forests are prized by developers. Both could spell doom for the species
نهنگ کوتوله خلیج کالیفرنیا (شمار برجای مانده: دویست تا سیصد مورد)
VaquitaGulf of CaliforniaNumber remaining: 200 to 300One of the rarest cetaceans in the world, the Vaquita is endangered by both its limited range and the ease with which it gets caught in fishing nets
گوریل کراس ریور (شمار برجای مانده: کمتر از سیصد مورد)
Cross River GorillaNigeria and CameroonNumber remaining: fewer than 300Thought to be extinct in the 1980s, the species is holding on, for now. Hunted for bush meat and crowded out by development, it may not last long.
ببر سوماترا (شمار برجای مانده: کمتر از ششصد مورد)
Sumatran TigerSumatra, in IndonesiaNumber remaining: fewer than 600This small tiger has lived only in Sumatra for a million years, making it hard to escape human expansion. Most survivors dwell in reserves, but about 100 live beyond the borders of the protected areas.
لانگور سر طلایی (شمار برجای مانده: کمتر از هفتاد مورد)
Golden-Headed LangurVietnamNumber remaining: fewer than 70All but wiped out, this primate was placed under protection in 2000. It is still in grave danger, but in 2003 its numbers rose for the first time in decades
راسوی پا سیاه (شمار برجای مانده: حدود هزار مورد)
Black-Footed FerretNorth American Great PlainsNumber remaining: about 1,000The continent's only native ferret is one of its most endangered mammals. In 1986, there were only 18 individuals left, but the species is clawing back.
کوتوله برونیو (شمار برجای مانده: حدود هزار و پانصد مورد)
Borneo Pygmy ElephantNorthern BorneoNumber remaining: about 1,500Shorter than the Asian elephant by about 20 in. (50 cm), the Borneo pygmy elephant is also more docile. Palm plantations have reduced its range, leaving it crowded for space.
پاندای غول پیکر (شمار برجای مانده: کمتر از دوهزار مورد)
Giant PandaChina, Burma, VietnamNumber remaining: fewer than 2,000Loss and fragmentation of habitat are to blame for the panda's perilous state. Captive breeding and species protection are helping the panda hang on—barely.
خرس قطبی (شمار برجای مانده: کمتر از 25 هزار مورد)
Polar BearThe circumpolar ArcticNumber remaining: fewer than 25,000Human development and poaching have long threatened the polar bear, but climate change and the loss of sea ice are now pushing it onto the critical list.
گربه ماهی غول آسای مکونگ (شمار برجای مانده: تنها چند صد مورد)
Mekong Giant CatfishMekong region of Southeast AsiaNumber remaining: hundredsPrized for its enormous size (the largest ever caught was 646 lb., or 293 kg), it is now protected in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, but fishing goes on.
