Conservation - Les 100 espèces les plus menacées (56) Images supplémentaires...
A new report by IUCN and ZSL, published on 11th September 2012 and presented at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in South Korea, identifies the world's 100 most endangered species of animals, plants and fungi, and asks the vital question ^Worthless or Priceless-^. For the first time ever, more than 8,000 scientists from the IUCN Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) have come together to identify 100 of the most threatened animals, plants and fungi on the planet. But conservationists fear they'll be allowed to die out because none of these species provide humans with obvious benefits. Our gallery illustrates creatures which without urgent action are at real risk of becoming extinct.
