8. Black-Eyed Tree Frog
The population of this rare species of frog is expected to decline by 80 percent over the next 10 years. Native to Mexico and parts of South America, the frog is under threat from habitat destruction and the chytrid fungus, an infectious disease that is decimating amphibians around the world.
9. Lord Howe Island Stick Insect
The Lord Howe Stick Insect was thought to have become extinct around 1920 after the introduction of rats to Lowe Howe Island, which is between Australia and New Zealand. In 2001, the species was rediscovered on Ball’s Pyramid, a rocky outcrop located about 15 miles from Lord Howe Island.
10. White Antelope
According to scientists, approximately 300 white antelopes remain in the wild. Their decline has primarily been caused by hunting, drought, and even pressure from tourism. The white antelope could once be found across almost all of Africa, but it is now only found in one small location: Niger.
