I love animal especially rare animal. Actually animal could maintain its life as long as the ecosystem is care well. However, people always hunt their prey which are beautiful and unique animals. They always hunt it, because it has high value compared with usual/ ordinary animals.
Therefore, those kind of animals not only fainted and abandoned its families but also become rare in this world. That's why animal can be rare even extinct in this world. The main factor is human being and the second is natural disaster. Based on the source that I qutoed, there are 2 options of the most rare animal in the world; first is Baiji and the second is The Pinta Island tortoise. I take the global one which is Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin). It was become rare because of human being/ intentional human atitude. Electrocution from electric fishing, collisions with vessels, underwater blasting for channel maintenance, and illegal hunting of the baiji for its meat and for its body parts (used in traditional medicines) are at least partially responsible for the declines in baiji range and abundance. Many researchers also predict that Baiji will extinct in the future. The situation is not condusive anymore to help its population because it had take a long time since many years ago. To avoid these similar thing, better for us to take care not only rare animals but also mass population animals.

This is a good topic. Many animals have become extinct and many more are endangered.
It's good that you provided the links.
