What Is The Top 100 In Endangered Animals

Silky sifaka (Propithecus candidus), fewer than 1,000 all the same alive

The World'due south 100 most threatened species ^[one] is a compilation of the most threatened animals, plants, and fungi in the earth. Information technology was the result of a collaboration between over 8,000 scientists from the International Spousal relationship for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Committee (IUCN SSC), forth with the Zoological Gild of London.^[ii] The report was published by the Zoological Guild of London in 2012 as the book, Priceless or Worthless? ^[3]

While all the species on the list are threatened with extinction, the scientists who chose them had another criterion: all the species have no obvious benefit for humans and therefore humans have no vested interests trying to relieve them. Iconic and charismatic species, such as tigers and pandas—forth with economically important species—accept many defenders, while these obviously "worthless" species had none. The title of the report, "Priceless or Worthless?", is based on that shared quality of the species.^[4] The report's co-author, Ellen Butcher, stated one of the guiding principles of the listing, "If nosotros accept firsthand activeness we can give them a fighting chance for survival. But this requires society to support the moral and ethical position that all species accept an inherent correct to exist."^{[ane] [5]}

The report was released in Jeju, South Korea, on September 11, 2012, at the quadrennial coming together of IUCN, the World Conservation Congress. At the Congress, information technology was reported that scientists are finding it more than and more common to have to justify funding for protection of species by showing what the man benefits would be. Jonathan Baillie, of the Zoological Society of London and co-writer of the written report, stated that, "The donor community and conservation movement are increasingly leaning towards a 'what can nature practice for us?' approach, where species and wild habitats are valued and prioritised according to these services they provided for people. This has made it increasingly hard for conservationists to protect the most threatened species on the planet."^[4]

Some of the threatened species are downward to only a handful of surviving members. Santa Catarina's guinea pig, native to a single island in Brazil, is down to its final 40–60 individuals, reduced past hunting and habitat disturbance. The great Indian bustard is threatened by habitat loss resulting from agriculture and human development, and is down to the last 50–249 individuals.^[vi] Elaeocarpus bojeri, a flowering plant constitute only on the island of Mauritius, has fewer than 10 surviving individuals, because of loss of habitat. The Baishan fir (Abies beshanzuensis), native to Prc, is downwards to five surviving mature individuals. "Priceless or Worthless?" describes the threats that each species is facing, forth with measures that would aid their survival.^[iii]
