Conservation efforts are needed for endangered species whose survival cannot be guaranteed by conserving their habitat alone.
These species fall into two groups:
-
Flagship species – iconic animals that provide a focus for raising awareness and stimulating action and funding for broader conservation efforts
-
Footprint-impacted species – species whose populations are primarily threatened because of unsustainable hunting, logging or fishing.
SPECIES ARE THREATENED IN EVERY HABITAT ON EVERY CONTINENT
The main threats to endangered wildlife species are:
-
habitat loss and degradation
-
poaching and hunting
Almost all of the causes pushing these species towards extinction are human related.
"Wildlife crime is now the most urgent threat to three of the world's best-loved species - elephants, rhinos and tigers." (*WWF)
"Endangered animals are slaughtered so that a single body part - like tusks, pelt, or bones - can be illegally sold for huge sums of money." (*AWF)
Africa is home to some of the world's rarest and most iconic species. Many of them facing extinction.
