100 spesies yang paling terancam (100 most endangered species) 2012

100 spesies yang paling terancam di planet ini telah dikenal pasti dalam senarai pertama-of-seumpamanya.

Diumumkan semasa Kesatuan Antarabangsa bagi Pemuliharaan Alam Dunia Pemuliharaan Kongres di Jeju, Korea Selatan, senarai adalah kemuncak kerja oleh 8.000 saintis yang mengenal pasti haiwan, tumbuhan dan kulat daripada 48 negara yang paling dalam bahaya kepupusan.

Terdapat satu perasaan takut di kalangan beberapa pemuliharaan bahawa banyak tumbuh-tumbuhan dan kulat yang disenaraikan tidak akan disimpan atau mendapat perhatian orang ramai kerana mereka tidak mendapat manfaat manusia.
