Loggerhead turtle

This large reptile is illegal to capture, harm or kill . One of the reason that it is in in danger of extinction is because of the pollution of the marine environment: each year, large numbers of loggerhead turtles become entangled in marine discarded fishing nets, ropes or plastics that cause serious injury and even death to the animal. In addition, turtles ingest plastic materials when they mistake them for food, which can lead to the death of the animal or affect its reproductive capacity .

Vaquitas risk of extinction Sofia, Giulia (Chieti_Italy)

The vaquita is the smallest cetacean. It lives only in the Gulf of California, where there are just 30 animals left. The original population in the 1930s was estimated to be around 5,000 individuals strong. In the 1990s, that number had declined to about 700. But in recent years, the population has declined at a dramatic rate. Between 2011 and 2016, the population has declined by 90%. A reduced inflow of nutrients and pollution are the main reasons of risk.

Asian elephants poached for their horns! by Emanuele and Denis

The biggest threat to Asian elephants is habitat loss and fragmentation. Asia is the most populous continent on Earth, where development and economic growth have led to invade with houses and buildings the places where elephants live. This has led to an average of 70% of elephants being found outside protected areas today. Elephants are poached primarily for ivory, and rhinos for their horns. Poaching can contribute to extinction. It can also have a tremendous impact on the environment.

SUMATRAN elephants

The sumatran elephants are endangered due to the loss of their habitat. Losing their natural habitat, sometimes they go into populated areas to look for food, and for this reason they’re attacked and killed by farmers. Some of them are also poisoned or killed by poachers to get the ivory in their tusks. Sumatran elephants could become extinct in less than 30 years if measures are not taken to slow down deforestation.
