  • Rabid dogs eat the remains of cow carcasses near Pinjore, India. India has the highest rate of rabies in the world and many believe it has to do with the near extinction of vultures who once ate the remains of the animals. Dr Vibhu Prakash of the Bombay Natural History Society has vultures in captivity near Pinjore, India in an effort to rescue the birds from extinction. Oriental White-backed Vultures, Long-billed and Slender-billed Vultures populations have all plummeted so much that scientists think all three could be extinct within a year or two. Ami Vitale<br />

  • In December of 2009, the Lewa Conservancy in Kenya airlifted the last four breeding age Northern White Rhinos from Prague’s Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic 4000 miles away to live “freely” at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. The Northern White Rhino is considered by scientists to be nearly extinct. As of 2009, there are only 8 Northern White Rhinos living in the world. Scientists hope that in Africa, the temperance in climate and the room to roam will entice them to breed and establish a nucleus for potential re-population. (Photo by Ami Vitale)

The Northern White Rhino is considered by scientists to be nearly extinct. As of 2009, there are only 8 Northern White Rhinos living in the world. Scientists hope that in Africa, the temperance in climate and the room to roam will entice them to breed and establish a nucleus for potential re-population. (Photo by Ami Vitale)

  • Koryak men who have been hired as salmon caviar poachers gather spawning fish along the Vyvenka river near Khailinina in Northern Kamchatka. Poaching is one of the biggest dangers to wild salmon. Since salmon eggs are in high demand in some countries like Russia and far more lucrative than any other viable trade in the region, many see this as the only opportunity for survival. The result is a vast decrease among the salmon population. Over the years, demand for salmon has gone up, while the population of salmon has steadily gone down. If this growing trend continues, it may not be long before salmon are on the verge of extinction.

  • The fragile landscape of Alaska is threatened by a proposed development to create the largest North American open-pit gold mine.  The Pebble Mine has been described by proponents as "Alaska's second Gold Rush." If approved, it could create a 1,000-square-mile industrialized mining zone within the Bristol Bay watershed and be mined for the next 40 to 50 years, and will produce some of hard-rock mining's most toxic wastes. Salmon, both farmed and wild, face many dire threats related to things such as land development and pollution. Over the years, demand for salmon has gone up, while the population of salmon has steadily gone down. If this growing trend continues, it may not be long before salmon are on the verge of extinction.
