Presentation transcript:

Polar Bear Because of the global warming, with 20-25,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not currently endangered, but its future is far from certain.

Iberian Lynx There are only two confirmed small and isolated breeding populations, both in southern Spain. Having decreased steadily in population numbers over the last two centuries, the Iberian lynx may soon be the first cat species to become extinct for at least 2,000 years.

Aloe polyphylla Aloe polyphylla, commonly called the spiral aloe, is an endangered native of the Maluti Mountains in Lesotho, Africa. Threats to populations of spiral aloe include overgrazing, unsustainable harvesting by plant enthusiasts and people interested in its medicinal properties, and the increasing rarity of its pollinator, the Malachite Sunbird.
