September is Save the Koala month
See it for yourself... the huge impact our urbanised lifestyle has had on our country
and the devastating loss the land has felt since Europeans settled in Australia. [link]

NO TREE, NO ME!!




Amur Leopard
Population: Less than 40 individuals



Bearded Vulture
Population: (Alpine) Approximately 100 breeding pairs exist in Europe today, mostly in the Pyrenees



Black Spider Monkey
Why is this species important?
The black spider monkey has an important role in seed dispersal in tropical forests.



Brown Bear
Why is this species important?
Bears are considered of high priority in conservation. Given their dependence on large natural areas, they are important management indicators for a number of other wildlife species. Moreover, brown bears play important roles as predators (keeping populations in check) and as seed dispersers.



Elephants
African Elephant - African elephants once numbered in the millions across Africa, but by the mid-1980s their populations had been devastated by poaching.



Asian Elephant - Although revered by many Asian cultures, the Asian elephant is being pushed to extinction. The remaining populations are mostly small, isolated, and fragmented because their ancient migratory routes and habitat have been disrupted by expanding human encroachment.



Eurasian Lynx
Population: Below 50,000 mature breeding individuals



Giant Panda
Population: Approximately 1,600 individuals in the wild



Great Apes

• Bonobo, Borneo Orangutan, Central Chimpanzee, Cross River Gorilla, Eastern Lowland Gorilla, Mountain Gorilla, Sumatran Orangutan, Western Chimpanzee, Western Lowland Gorilla

Iberian Lynx
Population: Around 110 individuals



Marine Turtles
Three of the seven existing species of marine turtle are critically endangered



Penguins
Today, penguins face a number of threats, including destruction of nesting habitats, competition with fishermen for fish and shrimp, and introduced predators such as rats, dogs and foxes which eat penguin eggs and young.
However, the greatest potential threat to penguins in global warming, as they are extremely sensitive to climate change.



Polar Bear Conservation
With 20-25,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not currently endangered, but its future is far from certain.



Rhinos
Very few rhinos now survive outside protected areas



Spectacled Bear
Population: Unknown



Tiger
In the past century, the world has lost three of the nine tiger subspecies. The Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers have all become extinct ... and many scientists believe the South China tiger is “functionally extinct”.



Whales and Dolphins
Seven out of the 13 great whale species are still endangered or vulnerable, even after decades of protection. Whales, dolphins and porpoises are succumbing to new and ever-increasing dangers. Collisions with ships and entanglement in fishing gear threaten the North Atlantic right whale with extinction, while the Critically Endangered Western North Pacific gray whale is at serious risk because of intensive oil and gas development in its feeding grounds.

Alarm is also growing over other hazards including toxic contamination, the effects of climate change and habitat degradation.
