Rare animals are species that have very few individuals left in the wild, making them vulnerable to extinction. These animals often face threats from habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. Examples of rare animals include the Amur leopard, the Sumatran orangutan, and the Vaquita, a small porpoise found in the Gulf of California. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these rare species and their habitats. Organizations work to create protected areas, enforce anti-poaching laws, and raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity. By supporting these initiatives, we can help ensure that rare animals continue to thrive for future generations.
