More than 37,000 species are threatened with extinction. On\u00a0Endangered Species Day<\/b>, help us save together the species at risk by supporting the World Sustainability Organization conservation projects.\u00a0<\/i><\/span>Here\u2019s what you need to know<\/b>\u00a0about the most threatened species on the planet and how to help them.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

From an adorable panda to a white shark, from a Tristan albatross to the Titicaca water frog and pangolins, these are all endangered species, which means they are under a real threat of extinction if nothing is done to prevent it.<\/p>\n

As we look at images of dinosaurs and wonder what these incredible creatures looked like, one day, our sons and grandsons might stare at the picture of a tiger and ask why didn\u2019t we make enough to save them.<\/p>\n

For this reason, every third Friday of May, we mark\u00a0Endangered Species Day<\/b>. It\u2019s a date to raise awareness about the species in danger, but most importantly, to take action to protect the biodiversity of our planet.\u00a0The World Sustainability Organization\u00a0supports conservation projects<\/span><\/a><\/b>\u00a0to restore the population of species under threat and prevent others from becoming endangered.<\/p>\n

THE RED LIST<\/b><\/p>\n

But, which are the most threatened species? The main reference to answer this question is the\u00a0IUCN Red List of Endangered Species<\/span><\/a>. Established in 1964, it\u2019s the world\u2019s most comprehensive information source on the status of animal, fungus, and plant species. The list is being continuously updated by scientists who so far have assessed more than 134,000 species. Their studies reveal some shocking facts:<\/p>\n

– In the last 500 years,\u00a0more than 900 species have been forced to extinction<\/b>\u00a0by human activity.<\/p>\n

– Currently,\u00a0more than 37,400 species are threatened with extinction<\/b>. That\u2019s 28% of all assessed species.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0The endangered species are<\/b>\u00a041% amphibians, 26% mammals, 14% birds, 36% sharks and rays, 28% selected crustaceans, 33% reef corals.<\/p>\n

Extinction is not a remote possibility. For species in a critical situation, it could happen as sooner as in the next ten years. In December 2020, the IUCN announced 31 new extinct species.<\/p>\n

SOME GOOD NEWS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

However, extinction is not inevitable, and we shouldn\u2019t be discouraged from acting. Good news from conservation projects shows that endangered species can recover. As recently as last year, the European Bison, Europe\u2019s largest land mammal, came out of the threatened category thanks to conservation efforts.\u00a0This is why the World Sustainability Organization supports concrete action to save endangered species around the globe.\u00a0We create campaigns to raise the public\u2019s awareness and pressure the authorities; we also commit to conservation projects, and we need all the help we can get.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE ENDANGERED SPECIES\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
