Endangered Species By: GG
Contents • Classification of Threat • Threats to Wildlife • Conservation Methods/Organizations • Conclusion
Classification of Threat • Not Evaluated • Data Deficient • Least Concern • Near Threatened • Vulnerable • Endangered • Critically Endangered • Extinct in the Wild • Extinct
Not Evaluated/Data Deficient • Species not yet assessed • Not enough information
Least Concern/Near Threatened • Not threatened • Likely/close to being threatened
Vulnerable • Face high risk of extinction in the wild in the distant future • Fewer then 1000 mature individuals with a stable population • Fewer then 10000 individuals: declining, badly fragmented, or one vulnerable group • Known, believed , or expected to decline by 20% in 10 years or 3 generations • Range less then 20000 sq. km with range or numbers are declining, fragmented or fluctuating • More then 10% likely to go extinct on the next 100 years
Endangered • Face a very high risk of extinction in the near future • Fewer then 250 individuals with stable population • Fewer then 2500 individuals: declining, badly fragmented, or one vulnerable group • Known or expected to decline by 50% in 10 years or 3 generations • Range less then 5000 sq. km with range or numbers declining, fragmented or fluctuating • More then 20% likely to be extinct in 20 years or 5 generations
Critically Endangered • Face an extremely high risk of extinction in the immediate future • Fewer then 50 individuals with a stable population • Fewer then 250 individuals: declining, fragmented, or one vulnerable group • Larger populations that declined by 80% in 10 years or 3 generations • Range under 100 sq. km
Extinct in the Wild • Captivity • Artificial population outside of natural range • Consistently fail to find a single individual
Extinct • No doubt that all have died
Threats to Wildlife • Habitat Loss • Hunting • Exploitation of Live Animals • Pollution • Climate Change • Introductions • Disease • Genetics • Natural Disasters
Habitat Loss • Mainly done by humans • Need for pasture • Creation of industries and settlements • Tourism
Hunting • We have been killing animals for thousands of years • Fishing/Whaling • Luxury Products • War • Superstition
Exploitation of Live Animals • Young primates • Pet trade • Aquarium trade
Pollution • Plastics • Oil spills • Atmospheric pollution • Acid rain • Pesticides • Heat, Noise, and Light
Climate Change • Polar ice caps melt • Flooding of low-laying land • Warmer winters • CFCs
Introductions • Out compete • Deliberate • Human transportation
Disease • New diseases • Captivity born
Genetics • Inbreeding • Interbreeding
Natural Disasters • Floods • Avalanches • Hurricanes • Fires • Landsides • Earthquakes • Drought
Conservation • IUCN • CITES
IUCN • International Union for the Conservation of Nature also World Conservation Union • Started in 1948 as the International Union for the Preservation of Nature • Changed name in 1956 to IUCN • Founded by governments, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations • Over 1000 permanent staff and 11000 volunteers • http://www.iucn.org/
CITES • Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora also known as the Washington Convention • Conventions = international laws • Main focus on animal trade • http://www.cites.org/
