The Trump Administration said that 25 species on the decline would not be listed as endangered, saying it “is not warranted at this time.”

But USA Today says environmental groups are particularly worried about the Pacific walrus, one of the species that was rejected to be called endangered.

They say that because of the extensive loss of Arctic sea ice, the Walrus is losing its habitat.

However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service apparently can’t say for sure that the Pacific walrus is close to endangered due to its loss of habitat.

Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity says the Trump Administration is “putting profits ahead of protecting endangered species”.

While Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski applauded the move saying that “...the population of Pacific walrus is robust and healthy, and has proven that it can adapt to the changing conditions in the Arctic."

Greenwald calls Murkowski’s findings “bogus” and asserts that all 25 species not listed "are now one step closer to extinction.”

Scientists at UNAM's Biology Institute have warned the Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) or Mexican salamander, could be at risk of extinction in the wild in five to 10 years as axolotl populations were declining in 2003. But a few canals in the southern Mexico City suburb of Xochimilco, the only waterways where some axolotls may still live, are threatened by pollution caused by the city's continuous expansion and the days of the species in the wild are numbered. The axolotl is now on the endangered species list of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

Thousands of onlookers cheered in central Hanoi on April 3, 2011 when rescuers captured for treatment the ailing and ancient giant turtle. Legend has it that the turtle is the guardian of a magical sword once used in the 15th century to drive out Chinese invaders. Concern has mounted in recent months over the health of the animal likely to be over 100 years old and one of the last of a critically endangered species -- it is one of only four Rafetus swinhoei turtles known to exist in the world.
