14 Endangered Animals And Where To Find Them

Humans have always been fascinated with animals – there are few we haven’t hunted, feared,
bred, domesticated, drawn on cave walls or composed songs and poetry about. But nothing
compares with the thrill you get when you see an animal for the first time. Just seeing the brute
majestic rhino or the effete elegance of a tiger can be a life-changing experience.

Even Stephen Fry, famous international clever chap, couldn’t help but giggle like schoolgirl when
he swam with a manatee for the first time. ‘Last Chance To See’, BBC2 production, sees Fry travel
in search of endangered animals, and goes to show that we don’t just need animals to do practical
stuff like regulate our ecosystems – when we’re communicating with an animal, we humans feel
less alone too. Watching Fry, heart caught in his throat, shaking hands with a gorilla is a joyous
thing in itself.

But many of the rare creatures we dream about one day meeting and forging life-long bonds with
are being threatened by extinction. For some it is only so much time before the only place we’ll
get to see them is in specimen jars in a zoological museum, bottled, labelled and vanished for
good.

Climate change is a contributing factor, of course, but used intelligently and in moderation, our
holidays can have immense benefits. Relatively few threatened species have been directly effected

as a result of climate change, with poaching, overfishing, deforestation, overpopulation, disease,

the effect of introduced species and civil war far more likely to precipitate collapse.

Lend your support when traveling by visiting some of the many national parks, zoos, nature
