In Barcelona, Spain there is a problem with extinction of animals because of habitat loss, hunting and climate change. Our own actions can cause species to die out and there are 188 mammals in the highest threat category. The Iberian Lynx was one of them which has a population of 84 adults and is declining. The fishing cat and the caspian seal have lost 90 percent of their population over the past 100 years because of hunting and their habitats changing. The percent of decrease has increased over the past 10 years. Even amphibians such as the Holdridge toad and the Cuban crocodile are in danger of becoming extinct. Other animals in danger are Indian tarantulas and the Rameshwaram parachute spider. The African Elephant on the other hand was removed from the vulnerable list and was listed as near threatened because of an increase of population.
