DEFORESTATION

The effect of illegal logging ON ANIMAL

 

TOP 5 species extinct due to deforestation

Hawaiian Crow-A species of bird in the crow family, Corvidae, that is currently extinct in the wild, though reintroduction programs are underway. It is about the size of the carrion crow at 48–50 centimetres (19–20 in) in length, but with more rounded wings and a much thicker bill. It has soft, brownish-black plumage and long, bristly throat feathers; the feet, legs and bill are black.

Darwin’s fox– It is also known as the zorro chilote or zorro de Darwin in Spanish and lives on Nahuelbuta National Park (Araucanía Region), the Valdivian Coastal Range  in mainland Chile and Chiloé Island.^[3] This small, dark canine weighs 1.8 to 3.95 kg (4.0 to 8.7 lb), has a head-and-body length of 48 to 59 cm (19 to 23 in) and a tail that is 17.5 to 25.5 cm

Pygmy Raccoon-Although it shares the familiar face mask of its North American cousin, the Pygmy Raccoon is roughly half the size, has shorter fur, and a handsome reddish tail.  The other major difference?  There may be no more than 300 of them left on Earth.

Sitalcicus gardineri– is an extinct species of harvestmen in the family Podoctidae. The species was endemic to Mahe Island of Seychelles.

Amani Flatwing-This species is commonly known as the Amani flatwing.^[2] It has a slender dark-coloured abdomen with a white tip, and males have a dark wing band. This insect is endemic to a 500 m (1,600 ft) stretch of stream in the Amani-Sigi Forest Reserve in the eastern Usambara Mountains in Tanzania. Because of its small area of occupation and the continuing destruction of the mountain forests in the area, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the conservation status of the Amani flatwing as being “critically endangered”.
