Good Lifestyle

According toElizabeth Kolbert Pulitzer award-winning bookWe are at the heart of a crisis of biodiversity, scientists fearing that humans look forward to "the sixth extinction". Coral reefs with Panamian golden frogs, a wide range of creatures and flora are extinct to a shocking clip. Here we have compiled a list of animals under the threat, but always very alive, recalling what is at stake if the conservation efforts are not taken. (For more information on how to help support conservation efforts, visit theWildlife World Fund WhereInternational Union for the Conservation of Nature.) And for some news - good news, here's15 animal species miraculously saved from extinction.

Known by some like the "Asian unicorn", this cow cousin was discovered for the first time just 25 years ago in the north-center of Vietnam. He has unusually long straight horns (his name means "spindle horns" in Vietnamese) and striking marking, but is threatened because of the hunting and destruction of his forest habitat by the lumber industry.

Located in the south of China and Laos and Vietnam, these monkeys have arms about the length of their body, which makes it the longest arm length (compared to the body) of all primates. But according to IUCN, the population of the Gibbons has decreased by more than 80% over the last 45 years, due to hunting and habitat loss. They are only 1,300 to 2,000 today.

A minor and smaller parent of the gray wolf, this creature is more reddish-gray, as his name suggests. Inhabiting the Midwest and once found as far as Texas and South Florida, its territory has been reduced by about 99.7%.

Scientists believe that their population has halved since the mid-1990s.

This high-eyed rainforest was discovered in Madagascar just five years ago and named after study group and sought on Madagascar's primates (Gerp, research organization that discovered it). But its fragmented population and loss of habitat have led its population to continue to decline.

The smallest of raccoon species, found on the island of Cozumel of Mexico, it is also one of the most threatened carnivores in the world. This looks like a typical raccoon with the dark mask and the nail, but much smaller size with paler fur. The development of COZUMEL tourism has affected the habitat of the creature and less than 955 are estimated to be alive.

This white-tailed mammal is endemic to the southern tip of the large Nicobar island of India, which lives among the "scope of the leaves" of the rainforest. Selective logging and the effects of tsunamis took their toll on the creature and it is listed as critical in danger in the IUCN red list.

Also known as red spider monkey, this pet is found in eastern eastern South America (north of the Amazon River). It is estimated that their population would have fallen halfway over the past 45 years due to threats to hunting and forest fragmentation.

Found in the oriental ghats of India, this greyish white rodent spends its time in the rocky habitats of the scrub forest. A decrease in its habitat conditions (thanks to the harvest of trees, mining and debris dumping), the population of the animal is under a serious threat.

These dark grayish pigs are short legs and short tails, all better for them to make a way through the dense grass of Manas National Park in Assam, India, in which they are their population. The total population is estimated at less than 250 years, although reproductive programs have been launched to help these figures increase.
