power point on endanger animal on gorilla panda and chinchilla

3. Giant pandas are bears that are
native to China, where they are
considered a national treasure. Even
with this exalted status, giant
pandas are endangered: only about
1,600 live in the wild, according to
the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
About 100 live in zoos around the
world.

4. GIANT PANDA
 Rarest member of the bear
family
 Pandas live mainly in bamboo
forests high in the mountains of
western China
 They must eat from 26 to 84
pounds of it every day
 A newborn panda is about the
size of a stick of about 1/900th
the size of its mother but can
grow to up to 330 pounds as
an adult.

5. Mountain gorillas
Mountain gorillas are herbivores.
Special treats are bamboo and bracket
fungus.
Habitat is limited national parks in two
regions of Africa.
1 in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in
Uganda.
Virungas moThe other group is spread over
three national parks in the untain
These males are called silverbacks because
of the silver stripe
oldest males of the group are at least 12
years old

6. Gorillas catch human illnesses
•contract illnesses from people but they don’t
have the immune system to fight them.
Even a simple cold can devastate an entire gorilla
population
HABITAT LOSS
•Only 17% of the gorilla population currently lives
in protected regions, and vast areas of gorilla
forest have already been lost.
HUNTING AND TRADE
•some cultures in central Africa, the killing and
eating of gorillas has increased in recent years and
the animals are frequently slaughtered for the
bushmeat trade.
POPULATION THREATS

7. Chinchilla
1. Chinchilla that belongs to rodents.
2. Two species of chinchilla short-
tailed and long-tailed chinchilla.
3. Chinchilla can be found in South
America.
4. This animal is adapted to the life
in mountains and rocky habitats
at altitudes above 12 000 feet.
5. Chinchillas were hunted nearly to
extinction in the because of its
dense and soft fur.
6. They are still listed as critically
endangered

8. What are the threats?
• Chinchillas are among the most endangered rodent species
• At lest 30 million Chinchillas were hunted during 19th
century and early 20th century.
• Due to uncountable hunting and demand in the market, the
Long-Tailed Chinchillas was once believed to be extinct from
the wild
• The Chinchilla fur is considered
the softest and the densest fur
in the world.
• The low reproduction rate
• Long-tailed Chinchillas have a population that is lower than
the minimum viable population size for long-term survival.

9. Habitat Destruction
Overexploitation
Hunting and Trapping
Pollution

10. Animal populations are disappearing at an alarming rate. But even in the
face of threats like poaching, habitat loss and overuse of natural
resources, we can create a better future for wildlife every day. Protecting
these species also contributes to a thriving, healthy planet for people’s
health and well-being—from forests that slow climate change and filter
water to oceans that provide more than one-sixth of the world’s food
