According to Earth's Endangered Creatures, most of the endangered African animals are mammals. Charismatic mammals, such as the cheetah, the chimpanzee and the African elephant, among others, are considered "flagship" species by the World Wildlife Federation. These iconic animals help raise awareness of conservation efforts.

 A quote from Amazing African Animals:


The most endangered species of Africa

"Many parts of this planet were blessed with an abundant flora and fauna. With mechanization and the onset of industrialization, these born free animals and the natural vegetation stated to be depleted as a result of human activity and what was the end phenomenon, the extinction or near extinction of most of the animal and plant species. On the other hand, an endangered species is any species of animal or plant threatened with extinction as a result of the ongoing human activities to nature.

Pollution and the spillover effect destruction of habitats is the single and the greatest threat to many species around the world. Man has overexploited many of the animal and plant species and degraded most of the animal habitat and the ecology of many natural vegetation around the world. On the other hand, the natural habitat degradation due to human activities is also part of the main cause for losses in biodiversity and may effects which results in many dangerous animal attacks."

The Prime Ministers and governments of Africa, please protect endangered species and their habitats on African continent and surrounding island.
