Animals in Danger of Extinction

The document discusses several animal species that are endangered due to factors like climate change, habitat loss, and human activity. Elephants are threatened by poaching and habitat loss from deforestation. Orangutans face increased rainfall and fires from climate change. Sea turtles' nesting areas are being destroyed by humans. Penguin populations are declining due to global warming. Whales are hunted and face threats from pollution, ship strikes, and climate events. Rhinos have been poached for their horns. Toucans' rainforest habitat is being destroyed. Snakes face habitat loss and persecution. Bengal tigers could lose 70% of their habitat to climate change by 2060. Polar bears rely on Arctic sea ice for hunting

ANIMALS IN DANGER

OF EXTINCTION
Cristopher Chele Villafuerte

ELEPHANT
While climate change and deforestation are guilty of the
species found in this list
the main enemies of elephant poachers are still looking
for their ivory

THE ORANGUTAN
In two Indonesian islands inhabited this great ape,
climate change causes an increase in precipitation during
the rainy season and fires in the drought.
often perishing surprised by forest fires.

SEA TURTLE
Commercial fishing and destruction by man of the nesting
areas on beaches, threaten to destroy a species that
takes 150 million years to inhabit the Earth

THE PENGUIN
The four main species of penguins living in Antarctica are
threatened with extinction because of global warming
Heating is five times faster at the poles than in the rest of
the planet.
Another serious problem is oil spills, by the freighters,
which extend around the globe.

THE WHALE
Commercial and for "research" by Japan, hunting
maritime traffic, pollution of the seas, climate change and
phenomena such as "El Nio" or "La Nia" threaten the
lives of whales in the world.
the humpback, blue, frank, fin, sei and sperm whales.

THE RHINO
The fact that the rhino has no natural predators should
mean they are safe in their natural habitat. Unfortunately,
it is not like that at all, because the humans have
destroyed and continue to do so in massive numbers.

THE TOUCAN
Toucan habitat are the jungles and rain forests. Their diet
consists mainly of fruit, although it may choose to eat the
eggs of other species.
Today this majestic species is endangered, given the
change in the dwelling and the slow reproduction cycle
that has, in which only lays 2 eggs and climate change
hardly make it to term.

SNAKE
Snakes are threatened by the alteration or destruction of
their habitat, catches looking for their skin and meat, the
pet trade, use in medicine, the introduction of predators
and abuse.
Perhaps even more important it is that snakes are victims
of persecution for fear, and because in some religions
symbolize evil.

THE BENGAL TIGER


The Bengal tiger is, after the Siberian tiger, the second
species of the world's largest tiger.
Due to climate change and sea level rise about 70% of its
habitat could be lost before 2060. His current situation is
alarming and that is why they have created new reserves
for preservation in India.

THE POLAR BEAR


The ice of the Arctic Ocean melts at an average of 9%
every ten years. According to these estimates, the Arctic
could lose its summer ice mass in the middle of this
century.
Polar bears belong to a species that depends entirely on
the existence of frozen sea.
They use the ice as a floating platform from which they
can hunt seals
