five species at high risk of extinction
Ecosystems change over time and species evolve or do not survive, although the hand of man seems to accelerate some processes.
This is a list of five animal species, from least to highest risk of extinction, included in the red list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an organization formed by international public institutions and civil society that quantifies and alerts on the animal demography and its evolution.
Giraffes:
The giraffes or Giraffa camelopardalis is the tallest animal in the world, but its ability to see the dangers from privileged heights seems not to be enough to stop the demographic decline experienced by its species.In only three generations, its population has been reduced by almost 40% and has risen from the category of "low concern" to "vulnerable" in the red list of species.
Cheetahs:
The cheetahs or Acinonyx jubatus are animals similar to leopards or pumas, which inhabit mainly in southern Africa, but also in areas of the east and northwest.In northern India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Caucasian republics and several countries in Africa is considered an extinct species.
Bees:
Bees are a practically indispensable species, according to experts, for the reproduction of life in many ecosystems, thanks to their role in the pollination of plants.The causes of the decline in the population of these insects vary according to the area, although the massive use of toxic pesticides for this species is one of the most common factors.
Parrot gray african:
The African gray parrot or Psittacus erithacus is a bird with gray fur, black beak and red tail that is characterized by its ability to imitate the sound of words.In parallel, the historical extensions of its natural habitat have been decreasing over the years, which has caused that in three generations its population has decreased between 50 and 79%. In 2014, it went on the red list from "vulnerable" to "endangered".
Vaquita marina:
The vaquita marina or Phocoena sinus is a mammal that lives almost exclusively on the coasts of Mexico and is listed as being in "critical risk of extinction" by the IUCN.Its population has declined drastically in recent years and is possibly the strongest candidate to not survive until 2018 if the pollution of the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the poaching of any of its specimens does not cease.
