Orangutan
Habitat destruction due to commercial logging and forest clearance for agriculture is the greatest threat to the orangutan. This great ape is also threatened by hunting from farmers in retaliation for crop destruction.
The greatest threat to the orangutan is the disappearance of their lowland forest habitats due to logging and forest clearance for agriculture.
Snow Leopard
Due to a dramatic decline over the last decade, snow leopard populations are now almost as diminished as those of the tiger.
Diminished food supply due to unregulated hunting, the illegal trade of coveted snow leopard pelts and human encroachment into their habitat are all factors leading to their decline.
Panda Bear
Giant pandas are one of the world’s most threatened species – as few as 1,600 remain in the wild and face continual threats to their survival.
Habitat loss and fragmentation due to clear-cutting of forests for agriculture, timber and fuel wood have destroyed over 50% of the bamboo forests that make up the giant panda's home.
Arctic Fox
Melting sea ice, due to climate change, means Arctic foxes have a shorter hunting season and limited access to their food supply, leading to malnutrition and starvation.
