16. Комодский варан
Статус: уязвимый
Угрозы: Комодский варан – самая крупная в мире ящерица, обитающая на индонезийских островах Комодо, Ринка, Флорес, Гили и Падар.
Вулканическая активность, землетрясения, браконьерство, туризм – все это привело к значительному сокращению поголовья варанов. Сегодня основной угрозой для вида является деградация среды обитания, в частности, снижение популяции оленей, диких кабанов и буйволов, являющихся основной добычей для варанов.
Специалисты оценивают численность популяции в 4 000 – 5 000 особей. Однако некоторые ученые опасаются, что среди них насчитывается лишь 350 самок репродуктивного возраста. Для решения этой проблемы в 1980 году был создан Национальный парк Комодо, решающий задачи по сохранению вида.

17. Большая панда
Статус: находящийся под угрозой исчезновения.
Угрозы: Большую панду в настоящее время можно встретить лишь на некоторых горных хребтах в центральном Китае, в основном в провинции Сычуань и в меньшем количестве в провинциях Шэньси и Ганьсу. В результате хозяйственной деятельности человека и вырубки лесов, большие панды были вытеснены из низменных областей, где они когда-то обитали.
С древних времен большая панда была объектом браконьерства не только для местных жителей, охотящихся на них ради мягкой шкуры, но и для иностранцев. В 1869 году животное было ввезено на Запад, где оно стало любимцем публики и воспринималось как плюшевая игрушка. Во многом это мнение сложилось по причине вегетарианского характера питания панд (основу их рациона составляет бамбук).
Популяция большой панды ежегодно неумолимо сокращается, что связано во многом с крайне низким уровнем рождаемости как в дикой природе, так и при содержании в неволе. По оценкам ученых, в настоящее время на Земле осталось около 1 600 особей.

18. Магелланов пингвин
Статус: близкий к угрозе вымирания.
Миллионы этих пингвинов до сих пор живут на побережьях Аргентины и Чили. Однако гнездовые колонии магелланова пингвина чрезвычайно страдают от разливов нефти, которые ежегодно убивают 20 000 взрослых особей и 22 000 птенцов.
Снижение численности морских рыб также влияет на выживаемость вида. Серьезные изменения климата привели к тому, что пингвины должны плавать на 40 км дальше от гнезда в поисках пищи.
В настоящее время, численность 12 из 17 видов пингвинов быстро снижается.

19. Белый медведь
Статус: уязвимый
Угрозы: По оценкам Всемирного союза охраны природы (данные за 2008 год), численность мировой популяции белых медведей на сегодняшний день составляет от 20 000 до 25 000 особей. Каждый год их количество значительно снижается.
В связи с глобальным потеплением климата арктические льды стремительно тают. Для белых медведей это означает потерю привычной среды обитания и большие трудности в добывании пищи.
За последние 45 лет численность белых медведей сократилась более чем на 30%. По некоторым оценкам, в течение 100 лет белые медведи могут исчезнуть безвозвратно.

20. Жираф Ротшильда
Статус: находящийся под угрозой исчезновения.
Угрозы: Жираф Ротшильда, известный также как жираф Баринго или Угандский жираф – один из самых редких подвидов жирафов, в дикой природе их насчитывается всего лишь несколько сотен.
Ведение сельского хозяйства в районах обитания жирафов стало главной причиной сокращения их численности. В настоящее время их можно встретить лишь на охраняемых территориях Национального парка «Озеро Накуру» в Кении и Национального парка «Водопады Мерчисона» в северной Уганде. Существует также Giraffe Centre в Найроби, ставший домом для многих жирафов Ротшильда.

Status: endangered.
Threats: giant pandas can now be found only in some mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, and to a lesser extent in the provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. As a result of human activity and deforestation, giant pandas have been driven out of the lowland areas where they once lived.
Since ancient times, was the object of a big panda poaching not only for local residents who hunt them for soft skin, but also for foreigners. In 1869, the animal was imported to the West, where it became a favorite of the public and was perceived as a plush toy. In many ways, this opinion has been formed due to the nature of the vegetarian food of pandas (the basis of their diet is bamboo).
The population of giant panda every year steadily declining, due in large part to the extremely low level of fertility in the wild and in captivity. Scientists estimate that at the present time in the world there are about 1,600 individuals.
