　　Many wild animals have gone extinct and many others are endangered.Here are some wild animals that may vanish if we don’t make greater efforts to protect them.

　　In January 2017,researchers found that lions in West Africa are nearly extinct.There are only about 400 left,and about half of those are at the breeding age,according to Panthera.It is a non-profit organization that spent six years tracking lions in 17 West African countries.Philipp Henschel,co-author of the report,told the BBC,“We are talking about some of the poorest countries in the world—many governments have bigger problems than protecting lions.Therefore,the governments are more likely to spend time and energy on these bigger problems rather than protecting lions.”

　　Found on the northeastern tip of Borneo in the Pacific Ocean,southeast of the Malay peninsula,the endangered pygmy elephants are the world’s smallest known sub-species of elephants.The biggest threats to their habitat are logging and the construction of palm oil plantations.They were widely considered to be the cause of 14 pygmy elephants’ deaths,likely caused by poisoning,which made headlines in January 2017.People who want to see them can “adopt”one through the World Wildlife Fund,which will send photos.

　　The Galápagos penguin has been listed as endangered animals partly because its survival is threatened by El Niño events,which make the water become too warm and cause food shortages.Found in the Galápagos Islands off Ecuador,it is also the only species of penguins found on the equator.
