10 animals in danger of extinction

This is the list of animals most at risk to disappear because of climate change

The World Wide Fund for Nature Protection WWF published a list of the 10 animals most at risk of extinction as a result of climate change.

Polar Bear

Every year is the largest percentage reduction in the Arctic ice, polar bear habitat. If you continue to melt the ice caps polar bears will disappear within 75 years. Some scientists predict that by the summer of 2013 in the Arctic will have melted and most of the ice sheets.

Bengal tiger

These tigers live in the mangroves located between Bangladesh and India. Each year the growth of sea level is 4 millimeters, is expected by 2060 the habitat of these animals will be destroyed and disappear because 70% of Bengal Tigers. Moreover, indiscriminate marketing of this species in countries like China is another important factor in the extinction of these animals.





The corals

Man has used coral for decoration and jewelry since 5000 years ago. Fishing and tourism have damaged much of the coral reef. Despite restoration programs and conservation of coral, is forecast that within a few decades will be gone for 80% of the ocean coral.

Kangaroo

Kangaroos live only in Australia. The increase of temperature and drought from lack of rain are the consequences of climate change that face this country. The kangaroos and other species of the family are at great risk of extinction, high temperatures create fires that kill most of the wild species.

The whale
Whales are continuing threat either by blows that ship or receive traffic and marketing. In addition, as a result of climate change migration routes of whales are affected by changes in ocean temperature. This makes some lost at sea or traveling through unfamiliar areas.


Penguin

The melting in Antarctica also be the cause of extinction of penguins, some scientists in 2100. Sea ice is essential to the life of the emperor penguin, in protecting their young, is the source of their food and the place where feather molt.













Turtle

The pollution of the seas and the tourist and urban development on beaches where turtles nest are some causes that anticipate the extinction of this species. In addition, climate change causes natural disasters like the tides that destroy the habitat of this animal.

Orang-outang

There are very few orangutans in Indonesia and Malaysia. This is the monkey with greater risk of extinction in the world because of deforestation, agriculture and forest fires that devastate their habitat completely.

Elephant

The reasons for the disappearance of the elephant are also deforestation and agriculture completely destroying their ecosystems and their food sources.

Albatross

This beautiful bird is strongly affected by the pollution of the seas and sea fishing, because their legs are entangled with the hooks, so die each year about 100,000 birds
