As people know, various animals become in danger. An indiscriminate action caused by human has threatened many species in the world.  Human activities such as hunting, poaching and industrialization etc make nature not sustainable. Animals have difficulties to adjust to their dramatic changes of habitat.

There is a research created by Cox&Kings to notice the most popular endangered species in Latin America. Follow bellow:

- Sloths : less than 500

- Sea Turtles : only 8,000

- Jaguars : 15,000

- Howler Monkeys : 100,000

- Macaws : 1million

- Amazonian Manatees : less than 10,000

-Short – Tailed Chinchillas : 11,000

Especially, among a lot of man-made factors, habitat loss is the biggest threat to biodiversity.

The howler monkey that lives in the tropical area in Central and South America could not find food due to deforestation, which causes less reproduction.

Fortunately, there are actions to protect these endangered animals.

In 2006, the endangered penguin species from South America (Humboldt penguin, rockhopper and macaroni penguins) was listed under the Endangered Species Act. due to global warming.

Brazilian swallowtail butterfly species failed to be listed under the Endangered Species Act after receiving the Center member's petition in 1994. But in 2004, the Center filled a lawsuit to compel the Service to protect these unique insects.
