Human beings are the greatest threat to the survival of endangered species, as we are the ones destroying their natural habitat, poaching and also causing the effects of climate change.
Even though extinction is a natural process, a lot of species are going extinct faster than ever before. The numbers will scare us: at least 10,000 species go extinct every year, experts say.
While a handful of conservationists are doing what they can to change the story of a number of endangered populations, they need all the support they can get.
Therefore, the artists from NetCredit decided to raise public awareness by making a difference and saving thousands of endangered animals. They created a series of posters that point out the most endangered creatures in every state of America.
Just over two inches long, with a spotted belly and a snazzy stripes-and-blotches design on its back, the Wyoming toad was once ubiquitous around the Laramie River Basin in Wyoming. Today, this warty fellow is considered extinct in the wild. The reintroduction of tadpoles and toadlets has been tried with mixed success. Pesticides, urban development and disease have done away with the Wyoming toad for now, although perhaps he will be back.
