Along with the development of increasingly modern human civilization. The conversion of land into residential areas means that natural space is shrinking and the number of animals is decreasing.
1. Javanese rhino
Previously, this species could be found throughout almost all of Southeast Asia. Now the drastic decline in numbers due to hunting and loss of habitat, makes the Javan rhino one of the rarest rhino species.
The Javan rhino population is only around 75 individuals and can only be found on the island of Java, Indonesia. This species is vulnerable to extinction due to natural disasters, disease, poaching for its horns, and the potential for inbreeding.
The Javan rhino conservation area is in Ujung Kulon National Park, and is the last refuge for the Javan rhino. However, the area has also been affected by the Arenga palm tree attack, leaving the rhinos with little food and habitat to roam.
2. Amur Leopard
The Amur leopard is a group of large cats and the rarest in the world. Currently the population is around 100 individuals in the wild. The Amur leopard can only be found in a relatively small area in far eastern Russia and northeastern China.
Since the last few years, it has been known that this subspecies of the Amur leopard is threatened with extinction. They are threatened due to habitat fragmentation, scarcity of prey, and transportation infrastructure such as roads. However, there is still hope for these big cats. About 65% of its range lies in protected areas of Russia and China.
3. Sumatran tiger
This type of tiger, also known as the Sunda tiger, is a rare species. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger subspecies in the world, weighing around 120 kg.
It is estimated that their population is only around 300 in the wild and can only be found on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. However, as human settlements expand, the Sumatran tiger's habitat becomes smaller. Additionally, poaching of tigers and illegal trade in their body parts raises serious concerns for their survival.
4. Mountain Gorilla
This animal is a sub-species of the eastern gorilla, which lives in the highland forests of the volcanic mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Bwindi Impossible National Park in Uganda.
Currently, mountain gorillas are listed as an endangered species with a population of around 1,000 individuals in the wild. This extinction is due to the socio-politically unstable landscape of Virunga. This poses a major threat to mountain gorillas as humans move to areas closer to these great apes for food and shelter.
5. Tapanuli forest people
Tapanuli forest people can only be found in isolated wild areas in the tropical forests of the Batang Toru ecosystem, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This species is in critical status because there are only around 500 of them in the wild. This figure threatens them as the most endangered species of great ape in the world.
This threat arises from the loss of tropical rainforest habitat which is replaced by agriculture, mining, and the construction of hydroelectric and geothermal power plants. It is known that between 1985 and 2007, more than 40% of the forest where the Tapanuli forest people were found was lost.
Saludos amigo la verdad es que la situación de los animales que están en peligro de extinción es un caso grave de que nosotros los seres humanos no sabemos cuidar y proteger lo que nos rodea como el caso no solo de los animale s sino de sus hábitat donde ellos viven pacíficamente su vida a veces les afectamos su vida por pequeños problemas como el hecho de conflictos intereses económicos pero ningún medio justifica el fin mas si el fin que malo para los animales.
