 We've
heard how the world's animals such as the tiger, black
rhino, and elephant are becoming more and more endangered
and becoming closer to extinction. But do we know
how big the problem is?
|
|
|
|
 At
the turn of the century there were 100,000 tigers,
now only about 7,000
remain.
|
|
 In
the 1960's rhino populations were estimated at 100,000,
there are now about 13,000.
|
|
 In
the 1930's there were over 500 million elephants
- now only 600,000 exist.
|
|
 Deforestation
and habitat loss has caused the Golden-Headed Lion
Tamarin to decline to numbers of less than 600.
|
|
 Found
only in China, the Giant Pandas current population
stands at about 1,200 - 75% of which are thought
to be in Panda reserves.
