Infographic: how the number of endangered animal species is growing. The list of endangered species has almost doubled since 2007. Although humanity has shown some success in saving animals from extinction, the number of endangered species is steadily increasing every year. This is clearly evidenced by the infographic of the Statista service, prepared on the basis of data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). If in 2007 7851 animal species were classified as endangered, then in 2020 the number of endangered species has almost doubled and amounted to 15,403 species. Compared to 2019 (14,234 species), this figure increased by 8.2%. At the same time, the number of endangered mammal species has increased by 21% over 13 years, insects - by 201%, mollusks - by 135%, fish - by 167%, and reptiles - by 245%. #WORLD #ANIMALS #ANIMALRESCUE #CARE
