This time last year @Lance Bennett challenged me to envision melting-wax candle versions of endangered animals, emphasising the urgent need for intervention before their extinction becomes a reality, this year I decided to extend this series further to include more animals.
The Snow leopard is facing a big threat of habitat loss due to climate change and also experiences extensive poaching.
The Siberian Tiger is threatened by habitat destruction due to logging and development, along with poaching in Russia and China. 🐅
The Amazon Rainforest Jaguar's living space is shrinking rapidly due to deforestation in the Amazon Basin.
The Iberian Lynx - This species is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural and industrial development, decreased food availability (particularly, a decline in rabbit populations due to disease), and accidental deaths from traps and road collisions.
The Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is critically endangered, primarily due to habitat destruction and hunting in its native Yangtze River basin in China.
The Orangutan is facing habitat loss due to illegal logging, palm oil plantations, and forest fires in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The Sumatran Elephant is losing habitat and food sources due to deforestation for palm oil plantations and agriculture in Indonesia.
The Mountain Gorilla and its habitat in Central Africa are shrinking due to farming, grazing, and the extraction of resources like timber and gold.
The Northern White Rhino is already extinct in the wild, with only a few individuals left in captivity, primarily due to poaching for their horns.
The Hawksbill Turtle and its nesting and feeding habitats are being destroyed by coastal development and climate change.
The Polar Bear is threatened by the melting of Arctic ice due to climate change, reducing their habitat for hunting and breeding. 🐻❄️
The Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal, threatened by illegal fishing practices.
Saola (Vietnam and Laos) - Known as the “Asian Unicorn,“ their habitats are threatened by logging and poaching.
