Numerous are the species that are currently in danger of extinction, most of them due to the direct or indirect action of man: climate change, destruction of their habitat, poaching ... We are going to show you a list with 10 of the species in a critical state of conservation, but there are many more: whales, some shark species, the polar bear, the pygmy elephant ... Only an ambitious protection can get us to save these fascinating species.
Number 10: java rhinoceros
Hunted mainly due to the properties attributed to its horn in traditional Chinese medicine and as a decorative object. There were only about 29 specimens on the island of Java, Indonesia, in 2012.
Number 9: Cheetah

The species, with presence in almost the entire African continent and certain areas of Asia, lived a situation of vulnerability that unfortunately has recently become dangerous due to the fact that only 7,000 specimens have been cataloged around the world.
Number 8: Tiger
Its population has decreased to more than 60% due to the human invasion of its habitat and, again, poaching (powers are also attributed to it in oriental medicine). The largest cat on the planet, before he campaigned at ease from Turkey to Russia. At present, the subspecies of Caspian, Java, south of China (only lives in zoos) and Bali have already disappeared.
Number 7: Red tuna
In serious danger of extinction, are taking measures to reduce their fishing, since the boom of sushi has put this fish in the pillory. Overfishing has reduced its population by 85% in recent years, endangering this species that was very abundant in the 60s.
Number 6: Asian elephant
In danger mainly due to the deforestation of the areas they occupy, and their poaching to obtain the precious ivory from their tusks. Currently the ivory trade is prohibited, but it is still practiced on the black market.
Number 5: vaquita marina
He lives in the Gulf of Mexico, and in 2012 several organizations have counted only 200 copies of this beautiful and small porpoise. Its habitat is very small, and fishing with nets is encouraging its disappearance. This species does not exist anywhere else on the planet.
Number 4: Mountain gorilla
The lowland gorilla seems safe. But his companion, the mountain one, could disappear completely by 2025. In a critical situation, there are only a few towns around the Congo River: Rwanda, Uganda and Congo. The causes? The disappearance of their habitat by logging companies and, above all, once again, poaching. In the Virunga National Park, where there are more specimens, more than 190 forest rangers have been killed, which denotes the great struggle for their conservation.
Number 3: irawadi river dolphin
Curious freshwater inhabitant of South and Southeast Asia, especially concentrated in the Mekong (Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos ...). It dies because it rises in salinity level in the waters, due to the little survival of the offspring, contamination in the area and by the form of fishing used for the recently famous and commercialized panga fish. In 2011, only 85 copies were counted.
Number 2: sumatra orangutan
Their hunting and selling as pets, and the large oil palm extraction industries are the causes of their critical situation. These consider the orangutan enemy of the crops, and do not hesitate to make them disappear. Indonesia has lost more than half of the surface of its tropical forests in the last 50 years to favor these plantations. You can only find this ape in Borneo and Sumatra.
Number 1: leatherback turtle
Species of marine turtle, is in serious danger of extinction along with the leatherback turtle. Although increasingly attracting tourism, accidental fishing, water pollution and hunting to get their shell, meat or eggs, have made a brutal dent in these animals.
