About the Tiger
The tiger is near extinction, with their numbers reduced by 95% since the early 20th century. Of the original nine subspecies, three are already extinct and the remaining five, including fewer than 50 Siberian tigers left in the wild, are at high risk of extinction. Tigers are threatened by loss of habitat due to human expansion, conflicts with humans, and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade. If trends continue, wild tigers could be extinct within decades despite conservation efforts.
Close to extinction/ Endangered Species in the Wild
This document summarizes the status of several endangered animal species around the world. It notes that many species have experienced drastic population declines of 60-95% in recent decades due to threats like habitat loss, poaching, hunting and climate change. Of the animals mentioned, several have fewer than 100 individuals remaining in the wild, including the Sumatran rhino, Javan rhino, vaquita, northern bald ibis, mountain pygmy possum, and Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog, which is currently the only surviving member of its species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these critically endangered species but many remain at high risk of extinction.
Some Animals and Their Profiles
African elephants have large ears to help keep cool. Their trunks are used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and grabbing food. American alligators were saved from extinction through conservation efforts and now their populations are thriving. Anacondas are the largest snakes in the world based on weight, though reticulated pythons can reach greater lengths. Ants are common insects that live in large colonies, especially in tropical forests. Anteaters have no teeth but long tongues to eat many ants and termites each day.

Uttarakhand and Karnataka have rich biodiversity. Uttarakhand is home to 4,000 plant species, 102 mammal species, and endangered species like the snow leopard and tiger. It has 6 wildlife sanctuaries and 6 national parks, including Jim Corbett National Park. Karnataka also has high biodiversity, especially in the Western Ghats. Both states are working to protect endangered species like the Indian elephant, Indian leopard, and sloth bear, though most remain on the IUCN Red List due to threats like habitat loss.
Carnivora
Carnivora are mammals that have evolved to consume meat as their primary dietary item. They originated in North America around 42 million years ago and split into two suborders - Feliformia including cats and Caniformia including dogs. There are currently 16 families within the order Carnivora containing over 280 species. Many carnivore families like Felidae (cats), Canidae (dogs), Ursidae (bears), and Mustelidae (weasels) are widely distributed across the world, while others like Eupleridae are restricted to Madagascar. Over-hunting and habitat loss have caused tiger populations to decline drastically to around 4,000 individuals remaining in the wild today.

The document discusses several endangered animal species from around the world, including 11 mammals, 14 birds, and 38 reptiles that were recently added to the critically endangered list. It also describes China's efforts to establish nature reserves to protect habitats and support recovery of endangered species populations. Several endangered species found in China and elsewhere in Asia are then described in more detail.
Endangered Animals
This document provides information on various endangered species of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects. It describes the physical characteristics and classification of endangered Asian elephants, blue whales, hybrid spider monkeys, Asiatic cheetahs, tigers, giant pandas, black rhinoceros, Marquesan kingfishers, California condors, whooping cranes, hawksbill sea turtles, Cuban boas, Chinese alligators, Chinese paddlefish, silver sharks, and wild common carp. Each species is classified as endangered, critically endangered, or facing extinction based on population declines and threats such as hunting and habitat loss. The document encourages readers to help save these endangered animals.
Hot spots of biodiversity
The document discusses biodiversity hotspots around the world. It defines biodiversity hotspots as regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic plant and animal species that have experienced significant habitat loss. 35 hotspots have been identified that contain over 50% of the world's endemic plant species and 42% of terrestrial vertebrates, despite representing only 2.3% of the Earth's land. Some key hotspots mentioned include the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka, Himalayas, Indo-Burma, Sundaland, Mediterranean Basin, Horn of Africa, Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands, Forests of Australia, Caucasus, and Mesoamerica. Each hotspot contains a high number of endemic species and has experienced extensive habitat
Animal Extinction
Animal extinction is caused by several factors including excessive hunting, environmental degradation, and habitat loss. Many species are currently endangered, such as the African elephant whose population has declined 25% in recent decades. Other critically endangered species include the Iberian lynx, Tasmanian devil, and Grevy's zebra whose habitats and food sources are threatened by human activity. Conservation efforts are needed to protect endangered animals and prevent further extinctions.
Wild Animals Primary
African elephants are the largest land mammals with large ears to keep cool. Their trunks are used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and grabbing food. American alligators were saved from extinction through protections and now number over one million. Anacondas are the largest snakes pound for pound due to their enormous girth. Ants are very common insects that are especially prevalent in tropical forests. Black bears are opportunistic eaters found in many habitats across North America. Blue whales are the largest animals ever and rule the oceans by gulping enormous amounts of water and feeding alone or in pairs.
Endemic species.pptx
- The document discusses endemic species, which are plant and animal species found in a particular geographical region and nowhere else. Some examples of endemic species in India are discussed, including the red-crowned roofed turtle, white-cheeked barbet, forest owlet, grey junglefowl, white-browed gibbon, and others. Threats to endemic species include habitat destruction, increasing human population, introduction of new species, and insularity. Their vulnerability is high due to smaller populations and isolation, so protection of endemic species is important for biodiversity conservation.
THRETENED MAMMALS OF INDIA
This document provides an outline and overview of threatened mammal species. It begins with definitions of threatened species and what classifies a species as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable. It then discusses what mammals are and why they are threatened, listing key threats as habitat destruction, agriculture expansion, industrialization, poaching, and climate change. The document proceeds to list important endangered mammal species in India, providing details on their characteristics and distributions, as well as threats to each species. Species discussed include the Asiatic lion, blackbuck, Bengal tiger, Ganges river dolphin, and others.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaHow to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

Top ten endangered species in the world
- 1. TOP TEN ENDANGERED SPECIES IN THE WORLD
- 2. RHINO • Since 1970, the Black Rhino population, native to southern and east Africa, has declined by 90% to less than 3,000. They are killed primarily for their horns. Trade of Rhinos has been banned for more than twenty years. Although having banned trading of the species, there still continues to be a great demand for Rhino parts.
- 3. GIANT PANDAS • Within a few short years, Giant Pandas could be facing extinction. Fewer than 1,000 remain in their native habitat of China. The main reason for their decline is due to loss of natural habitat and poaching.
- 4. TIGER (PANTHERA TIGRIS) • These magnificent cats are native to tropical zones in Southeast Asia and temperate regions like the Russian Far East. Less than 6,000 tigers remain in the wild. The most urgent threat to the species is poaching for body parts and bones used in traditional Asian medicines.
- 5. STURGEONS (HUSO HUSO) • These ancient living fish fossils are found in the Caspian Sea. Valued throughout the world by connoisseurs for their superior quality caviar, poaching is out of control due to excessive demand and high prices paid for the Sturgeons' "pearl-like" caviar.
- 6. GOLDENSEAL (HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS) • The perennial Goldenseal herb is favored by naturopathists for its ability to heal numerous ailments from haemorrhoids to allergies. Home in the hardwood forests of North America, the demand for this cure-all perennial herb has recently leaped more than 30%.
- 7. ALLIGATOR SNAPPING TURTLE (MACROCLEMYS TEMMINCKII) • Prized by turtle trappers and dealers for its rare meat, Alligator Snapping Turtles, the largest of freshwater turtles from North America, is quickly being depleted due to increased shipments to many international world markets including Asia.
- 8. HAWKSBILL TURTLE (ERETMOCHELYS IMBRICATA) • Found mainly around tropical reefs, the three foot (one metre) length Hawksbill Turtle species, named for its distinctive snout, is becoming extremely vulnerable due to their slow reproduction rates and high volume of illegal trade for the prized jewel -like "tortoise shell.
- 9. BIG LEAF MAHOGANY(SWIETENIA MACROPHYLLA KING) • Demand for the red colored wood goes unabated because of worldwide consumer demand for quality mahogany hardwood furniture. Although mahogany trees are widely distributed in tropical forests from Mexico to the Amazon Basin, the species grows naturally only as individual trees rather than in groups of large forest stands. Wholesale stripping of Amazon forests has resulted in perhaps 70 per cent of the world's supply being depleted.
- 10. GREEN-CHEEKED PARROT(AMAZONA VIRIDIGENALIS) • Native to Mexico, this colorful parrot species, with the ability to mimic the human voice, has been significantly reduced in numbers due to a huge demand for these lovely pet birds, especially from the United States. Even after prohibiting the sale of these green-cheeked birds, droves of the species are still being illegally traded across the Mexico/US border.
- 11. MAKO SHARK • The Mako Shark is highly sought for its tender meat, and especially in Asian markets, for their shark fins which have even greater value for medicinal purposes. Some of the species are merely stripped of their prized fins by the international fishing fleets and then are thrown back into the depths, left to die.
