When you think of endangered animals, you probably think of creatures like polar bears, tigers, or orangutans. But plenty of other species that we don’t hear about are threatened by climate change, too. The Wildlife Conservation Society has published a new report listing some of the less well-known animals facing the challenges of a changing world.

The United Nations have designated 2010 as the Year of Biodiversity.

    I bought a reuseable bag from the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the money I bought it with went to restoring the natural forest.

    If everybody on the world helped us treehuggers there wouldn’t be as much endangered animals.the Pandas for example, if poachers stopped hunting they wouldn’t be in as much danger.If we dedicated our time to make sure everything we’re not using is turned off, polar bears instantly at a less risk.Animals are on the endangered list for different reasons, if we all helped stop one main problem that puts animals on that list, I bet hundreds of endangered animals would be off that list.
