Personal Review:
In our opinion, all these animals and many more not discussed above, because they are an almost endless list are in danger of extinction but almost a completely disappeared, mostly due to human action, as humans we are using new techniques to improve and transform our world without realizing that severely damaged the habitat of these animals. Despite all this there are different organizations that are responsible for protecting them in order to preserve their species, the organization best known for all the Greenpeace environmental organization is a pacifist.
