Nearly a quarter of all mammal species and a third of amphibians are threatened with extinction.
As all of us probably know a lot of animals these days face extinction. The WWF works to save these animals as well as all life forms on earth.
Biodiversity - is their main goal. Where all living things on earth work and live together in harmony. Protecting the world's species and their habitats is key to conserve the earths biodiversity.
According to their website the growing and unsustainable demand for natural resources is at the heart of the problem. Human activity such as agriculture, forestry, energy production and poaching are having a serious impact on the environment. While important in their own right, species are critical for maintaining the balance of ecosystems. Illegal trade and habitat destruction are the two biggest threats to animals today.
