Bonobos are an endangered species,

But still a very nice job. It is so sad, that many species will be gone soon. Too many different threads to them to eliminate them all - and many people only think about profit, they do not care about those kinds of problems. the few "good" humans seem to be helpless against all the "bad" people.

I didn't plan on picking the familiar ones only, but also some less '
But I drowned in the enormous amount of species.... I spend a few hours for making a selection but most lists only contain latin names which makes searching really hard. And I wanted the text accompanied with a good quality & attractive photograph of this particular animal....To put it shortly: due to the complexity I decided to keep it simple.
But.....If you know some 'missing' endangered species and you know a good photo of it here on DA, I'll gladly add it. (but please, be quick, my sub end's today, which means my journal will stay, but I can't edit anymore...)
Tnx for commenting!

Environment Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk said the government was left with no choice but to reintroduce killing elephants "as a last option and under very strict conditions" to reduce environmental degradation and rising conflicts with humans.
"Our simple reality is that elephant population density has risen so much in some southern African countries that there is concern about impacts on the landscape, the viability of other species and the livelihoods and safety of people living within elephant ranges," van Schalkwyk said.
Yup.....as if elephants population is the only population to increase....What about us? I think human kind is growing way faster, but no one mentions that: killing humans "as a last option and under very strict conditions" to reduce environmental degradation and rising conflicts with elephants might be a better idea.....
