Animals from the Red Book, which are no longer threatened with extinction (10 photos)
And yet sometimes good news happens. Yeah, no predator on planet more terrible and cruel than man. But there are those who they try their best to correct their mistakes. Over the past few decades, conservationists have prevented the extinction of 21-32 species of birds and 7–16 species of mammals. And this cannot but rejoice! Let's let's see which animals from the Red Book are no longer threatened with extinction.
Big panda
Pandas were on the verge of extinction, but in 2021 the authorities China said that the species is no longer on the verge of extinction. Save pandas succeeded thanks to the improvement of their living conditions and the expansion thickets of bamboo.
Pandas are still considered vulnerable, but this Chinese national treasure is no longer threatened by extinction.
Puerto Rican Amazon
This bright parrot lived and lived well, until in the XVIII-XIX centuries he did not interfere with the people who began to massively cut down suitable for nesting trees. Only in the 1970s did humanity change its mind and began to take a number of measures to protect this now rare parrot. IN In 2020, it became known that this species is still rare, but already on the verge of extinction is not found.
Pyrenean lynx
This lynx is still the rarest among wild cats. At the beginning of the past centuries of these cats, there were about a hundred thousand, but the species very quickly became die out due to the destruction of their habitat. So, in 2002 in the world there were only ninety-four Pyrenean lynxes. Humanity grabbed his head and began to save the lynxes. Now Pyrenean lynxes actively multiply and do not plan to die out at all.
bald eagle
The bald eagle is an important bird. In fact, he is depicted in coat of arms of the USA. The bird is respected, but this did not save her from a sharp decline. population, which has brought it to the brink of extinction. But thanks to the efforts of man, the species gradually recovered, and the status of the species was considered safe.
brown pelican
The smallest of the pelicans. In the 1960s, their population is very decreased sharply due to the fact that they ate fish containing strong pesticides. After banning some pesticides, these pelicans have regained their population, but their habitat has greatly decreased.
white oryx
The white oryx is out of luck. They were actively hunted down for their meat and skins. The species was on the verge of extinction, but thanks to conservation measures still preserved. White oryx are not now extinct, but they are classified as vulnerable species.
Beaver
Yes, even such a famous animal was once on the verge of complete disappearance. The common beaver was exterminated because of its valuable fur. Eventually by the beginning of the 20th century, there were only 1,200 individuals in total. But thanks to measures to restore the population by 1998, the population beavers in Europe and Russia was already estimated at 430,000 heads. Now im definitely not in danger of extinction.
american bison
In the United States, bison were exterminated en masse. And all for the sake of precious skins and liberation of the territory. In the 1840s, about 2 million bison. By the end of the eighteenth century, less than a thousand remained. The bison were saved by the ban on hunting and the fight against poaching. For today the day the species has restored its population and is quite far from extinction.
white rhino
Surprisingly, the white rhinoceros is not white at all, and the color is not different from other rhinos. The name comes from a corruption of Boer the word "wijde" (wide, broad-faced), which is English in sound remade in "white" - "white". White rhinos were mercilessly exterminated. AND if the northern subspecies of this animal has almost disappeared, then the southern subspecies restored its population and in some of their habitats happened a whole population of these rhinos.
northern elephant seal
In the 19th century ittheir creatures were actively exterminated for their fat, until northern elephant seals were not officially considered extinct. However one small colony of these animals was discovered, consisting of a little less than a hundred animals. The colony was taken under protection, and the elephant seals began actively rebuild their numbers. So active that now they are classified as species with the lowest risk of extinction.
