Endangered Species

Once They’re Gone, There’s No Bringing Them Back

The Carolina Parakeet, the Golden Toad, the West African Black Rhino, and so many others… whether they’re long-gone, recently gone, or soon-to-be gone, they’re a loss to the world. No one will ever get to enjoy seeing these magnificent animals. They won’t play the role in nature that they were destined to have.

Currently, more than 3,000 species of animals are considered endangered. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973 to help with conservation efforts, but there are now three times as many endangered species as there were just ten years ago. To learn more about those animals, explore the Faunalytics library articles and other resources below.
