Top 6 Rarest Species in the World:

Introduction:

There are many species which are endangered and about to extinct after few years. Despite of efforts to protect endangered species, many are still at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, Climate Change, Global Warming, Deforestation and also lot of other factor. Now let's explore the most endangered species including marine mammals to birds species.

Cause:

The main cause of extinction of animals are because of human activities include habitat loss, hunting, climate change, Animal abuse etc. Basically we all are responsible for their extinction, we have killed n number of animal for thier skin, destroyed forest for our shelters. This lead to the decrease in their population size due less breeding, reduce in availability of their food and shelter.

Hunting is always being an illegal practice which is continually practicing across the globe. Many species are just hunted for their skin, Meat, Fur which can be used to fullfill human needs. Animal skins is the major source for the production of natural leather. According to the report produced by Food and Agriculture Organization only 18% of the world's population is vegetarian means 82% of people consume meat. The statats of Non-Vegetarian are low in india whereas in other country like saudi arabia, Japan, China, United State the percentage is comparatively high.

Cause:

2. Deforestation and land conversion for Devlopment of infrastructure for human needs.

3. Illicit hunting for their horns

Protective Measure:

1. Law Enforcement:

Government can implement law against Poaching activities for their horn and it must be declare a punishable act. In Indonesia government have taken steps to protect them they have created protected areas for them like 'Ujung Kulon National Park' which is home for largest population of javan rhinoceros.

2. Overhunting of their prey (deer, wild boar, small mammals etc.)

3.Due to poaching activities they are hunted in large number of quantity for their skin

Prevention Measure:

1. Habitat Protection:

Habitat protection is great safety measure that can be taken to protect them from extinction. we can developed protected areas, such as national park or wildlife reserves to avoid any human intervention.

2. Anti Poaching Measures:

Strict law must be implemented by government to stop poaching activity and illegal trade of their body parts including their skin, teeth, etc.

3. Education and Awareness campaign:

Education and Awareness campaign must be run to spread awareness it can be done by educating local tribe.
