Biodiversity has been on the decline over the past century and the background rate has been mostly accelerated by the humans. Considerable damage has already been done. Possible solutions have been discussed and categorising species according to how in danger they are is one of those solutions. Below are some of the threatened organisms in different continents around the world. TABLE OF CONTENTS Africa Mammals Birds Reptiles Amphibians Fishes Asia Mammals Birds Reptiles

Instead of using nets or create farms fishermen could use traps because these have been shown to help keep out any unwanted animals. If a fisherman uses a trap many endangered animals could be saved.

Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys Coriacea) There are seven different species of sea turtles all over the world.

Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles‚ seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Endangered wildlife like Hawaiian monk seals and Pacific loggerhead sea turtles are among nearly 300 species that eat and get caught in plastic litter. It’s time to get at the root of this ocean crisis. The Center has petitioned the

Does saving these endangered species and taking necessary actions for those who are on the brink of extinction means anything to you?
