This endangered species endemic areas like riverbanks or mud puddle in lowland forest.

Some areas are believed to still be babirusa habitat include Bogani Nani National Parks and Nature Reserves Wartabone Panua. While in the Nature Reserve Tangkoko, and Wildlife-nembo Manembo unique species endemic to Sulawesi is scarce and rare.

Its population today is not known with certainty. But by spreading limited by the IUCN Redlist endemic wildlife conservation is filed in the category of Vulnerable (Vulnerable) since 1986. And by the CITES endangered species and protected this also listed in Appendix I, which means that should not be hunted and traded.

The Iberian Lynx 



Cats of the world's most endangered species in terms of types, from a total of 36, standing on the edge of extinction. Despite efforts to save it, only about 100 cats fixed, divided between two unconnected breeding populations in Andalusia. Extinction Lynx will be soon to follow will be the first extinction of the cat world. This is due to the depletion of the rabbit, his favorite prey, with diseases such as myxomatosis and VHD. Rabbits make 75-100% of lynxes diet ', it only takes one cat per day. Iberian Lynx currently holds the record for being the world's most cat species are threatened, and the most endangered carnivore in Europe.

The Amur Leopard 



This is the rarest subspecies of leopard, and closely competing for the title of the rarest cat on Earth. Amur leopards are very distinct from other leopards, has lengs long hair, which allows them to live in the cold. It is threatened by habitat destruction, and become very susceptible to fire because they live in the forest. Field survey data estimates that there are fewer than 50 leopards left in the wild and about 200 in captivity, mostly found in zoos in North America and throughout Europe. On April 16, 2007 a ​​female was shot and killed by hunters, leaving only six females left in the wild.

And so to capture the picture is very hard to do. Recently, WWF U.S., and the Park is home to the National Geographic managed to obtain the latest photos of the Rhino's, after going through the process and the project is quite tiring late 2010.

Method of capturing images through the camera trap was installed in a particular spot, and the photo will automatically work when there is movement in the vicinity. And after all this time installed in March was successfully released the latest photos of the most endangered mammals in the world.

Thanks to Eric Dinerstein and Barney Long of WWF U.S. As well as the team of the Park is home.

Indonesia Frogs, Unique and Rare

         Frog or Toad in Indonesia reaches 351 types (identified) from about 5915 kinds of toads or frogs are found in the world. This means that only a third of frog species in the world are in Indonesia. Even most of the toads in Indonesia is endemic not shared by other countries. Unfortunately, not a few of these frog species are threatened with extinction but until now have not one type of toads were declared protected by the Indonesian government.

          And Toads are a group of animals that are very sensitive to environmental changes, such as water pollution, deforestation, or climate change. Because of their sensitivity, amphibians can be used as indicators of environmental change. If the frog population in the region is well developed in the neighborhood certainly is still healthy and vice versa.

          The main cause of scarcity Beetle in Indonesia is the loss of natural habitat for frogs, such as the deforestation of tropical rain forests, pollution of rivers, wetlands and conversion to plantation. Types of native forest frog life is very dependent on the existence of the forest. Thus, damage to the forest will have a negative impact on the survival of that species.

        Besides contributing a third of the total species of frogs in the world, Indonesia has unique frogs. In between the color, size, to the structure of the body.


         Unique and rare frogs in Indonesia, among others:

• Biggest frog. Limnonectes blythi, amounting to 30 cm. Frog is found in West Sumatra. Frogs are believed to be the second largest in the world.

• The smallest frog, Oreophryne minuta, found in Papua

• Blood Red Frog or Toad (Leptophryne cruentata). Red frog was discovered Mount Gede Pangrango and Mist Mountain National Park-Salak and is the only frog that is red in Indonesia. Red Frog is one of the rare animals in the Red List International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the status of CR (critically endangered) or "endangered"

• Frog without lungs, Barbourula kalimantanensis. Frog has no lungs found in Borneo in 1978. Until now, this type of frog found only in Borneo. Frogs use their skin breathe is only found in Baka Bukit Raya National Park, West Kalimantan.

• Tree Frog Ungaran (Philautus jacobsoni) is an endemic species that were once only lived in upland forests of Mount Ungaran, Semarang, Central Java. Including small body size and arboreal or live in holes in trees. Is based on the IUCN conservation status of the CR (critically endangered) or "endangered". Its existence is very difficult to be found. In fact the only sample that was taken in the 1930s and kept in the Leiden Museum, Netherlands.

• Kongkang rapids (Huia masonii), Tree Frog Pearl (Nyctixalus margaritifer), Tree Frog Legs Pistil (Philautus pallidipes), and the Java Tree Frog (Rhacophorus javanus). All four are endemic Javanese frog found only on the island of Java. According to the fourth IUCN status of "vulnerable" (VU).

         Other than the above there are many other frog species that are unique. Even believed, beyond 351 types of frogs that have been identified, there are still hundreds of other species that have not been known. but for the data is still incomplete due to the number of researchers who are still very few.
