5 ANIMALS ARE THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION

Animals are also affected by climate change, pollution and exploitation of excessive resources. Because of the excessive exploitation of human and due to climate change.Many animals have been reduced in number due to destruction of their habitat, mainly due to human activities such as deforestation, construction of hydroelectric projects, burning of forest for agricultural land.

1/Kingfisher

-Scientific name: Alcedo atthis

-This European kingfisher is easy to identify by its characteristic coat color.They live close to water bodies and the increasing pollution of the water source causes fish stocks to be severely reduced due to the narrowing of wet areas.Since 2001, the kingfisher population has decreased by 50%

2/Damselfly

-Scientific name: Nehalennia speciosa

-This cute little dragonfly lives mainly in lake marshes, but they have disappeared in Belgium, Luxembourg and are threatened with extinction in France and Germany.The main cause is drought from draining water from fields, pollution of the environment and climate change.

3/Hamster

-Scientific name: Cricetus cricetus

-The name of this species has been listed in the Red List because they are at risk of extinction due to the increasing exploitation of agriculture by humans in the form of monoculture leading to a decrease in biodiversity and frequency of harvest.

-In 2007, France had a plan of action to protect this species, and by 2017, France counted fewer than 1,500 individuals needed for this hamster to maintain its lineage.

4/ Wild Rabbit

-Scientific name: Oryctolagus cuniculus

-Wild rabbits are more harmful than beneficial, but their population has greatly decreased make scientists and biologists nervous.They have been killed too much and now their habitat is significantly reduced due to the rapid increase in human exploitation of agriculture, which has changed their inherent habitat.

5/ Sperm-whale

-Scientific name: Physeter macrocephalus

-Sperm-whales live in deep water in the middle of the ocean, but they are at risk of extinction due to fishing for past commercial needs.A ban on catching this species was launched in 1982.

-Currently, the risk of threatening the survival of sperm-whales is due to pollution of the marine environment and they have ingested large amounts of plastic and metal waste that humans throw into the sea.
