There are already enough empirical evidences to claim that the balance between humans and animals has become lop-sided. Biodiversity…and our symbiotic relationship with it.. is undeniably in danger ! In our quest for development, we have caused an irreparable damage to wild animals and their habitats. So much so, that several species of wild animals and birds are very close to the verge of extinction. Extinctions are happening at a dramatically faster rate than they have over the past tens of millions of years. An estimated quarter of all species on Earth are at risk of being lost, many within decades. And to perhaps atone for our sins, scientists are now trying to revive species that have become long extinct. Today is World Wildlife Day….and on this occasion we bring to you top 5 species that are critically endangered…and are extremely vulnerable to go extinct in near future. Other than this, we will also tell you about the possibility of the concept of ‘De-Extinction’…Which is related to the scientists trying to revive species that have long gone extinct. But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.
