Endangered Species Every hour one animal is killed, risking the extinction of a whole species. The Panda, for example, is a symbol of the fight for endangered species. But it is becoming extremely rare: there are only about 900 pandas in the whole world! Pandas have been threatened over the years by illegal trade but also by the destruction of bamboo forests, their main source of food. Conservationists say it is necessary to increase panda reserves to guarantee enough food. Laws are being enforced, especially in zoos and private organisations: a few years ago the Chinese government found out that money from governmental support to this species was being used for other purposes. Panda poachers are also being severely punished for their crimes. The tiger is another species on the edge of extinction: when environmentalists finished their studies a few years ago, three tiger subspecies had already been destroyed. Nowadays there are only 5,000 tigers left in the wild. But this beautiful wild animal is constantly poisoned, trapped and killed, mostly due to illegal trade. Strategies now tend to preserve tigers in the wild: in the past countries were being helped only by the United Nations to protect the habitats of this species and, at the same time, encourage local communities to support tiger conservation. Now NGOs are helping and the struggle continues! Polar bears are also on the list: a book was published last year by a British researcher saying that this species will disappear within 100 years! A recent study was made estimating that there are only 20,000 polar bears still in the wild. But these majestic creatures are being threatened by pollution and global warming: ice is melting, forcing polar bears to leave before they have eaten enough food. Not only is their food destroyed, but also the access to feeding areas. That’s why strategies to preserve this species include protecting their ecosystem, particularly their feeding areas and migration routes. But there is still a lot to be done! It’s up to us to do something to start reversing this situation before it is too late!
