- The IUCN Red Book lists the four species of tapirs (Tapirus bairdii, T. terrestris, T. pinchaque and T. indicus) as either vulnerable or endangered. The Mountain tapir, T. pinchaque, is one of the most endangered large mammals in the world.The Baird’s tapir, T. bairdii, is the largest land mammal in the Neotropics and also endangered. The Malayan tapir, T. indicus, is the only Old World extant species and is also endangered in Sumatra and mainland Malaysia.apirs are herbivores best suited to primary or old growth secondary forest, and their reproduction is slower than most mammal species due to a long gestation period (13 months) and to the fact that there is only one offspring per gestation. Tapir Habitat Range. Note that ranges are an illustrated approximation.

Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome Facts You will also find quite a few larger animals living in the temperate deciduous forest biome. Many of them such as the deer and Black Bear eat grass and shrubs. Others including the fox though feed upon other animals that live in this biome. The winter can be very cold and result in a lack of food. Many birds and other animals migrate from this area during the winter months. There are other animals living in the temperate deciduous forest biome that hibernate in the winter months. This includes the Black Bear.

Grizzlies Should Stay on Endangered Species List, Scientists Say Bear battle. The fight over the delisting of the Yellowstone grizzly population is a years-long saga. The bears were temporarily removed from the Endangered Species list in 2007, after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) declared that the animals' numbers had recovered sufficiently not to need federal protection.hen the agency first delisted the grizzly bear from the Endangered Species list in 2007, it estimated that 16 percent of the whitebark pine in the habitat had been affected by beetles.

Temperate Deciduous Forests Temperate deciduous forests have a great variety of plant species. Most have three levels of plants. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants can be found on the forest floor. Shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level.

- In Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, the critically endangered population of Sumatran rhinos is threatened by the conversion of forest to cash crops on both the eastern and western sides of the island’s central mountain range.ense highland and lowland tropical and sub-tropical forests. Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of the living rhinoceroses and the only Asian rhino with two horns. They are covered with long hair and are more closely related to the extinct woolly rhinos than any of the other rhino species alive today.

Deciduous The canopies of temperate deciduous forests let light reach the forest floor which creates more diversity in the plant and animal species. Tropical and subtropical canopies have several layers which prevents most of the sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Two distinctive types of deciduous forest are found growing around the world. Temperate deciduous forest biomes are plant communities distributed in North and South America, Asia, Southern slopes of the Himalayas, Europe and for cultivation purposes in Oceania.

Temperate Deciduous Forests The Temperate Deciduous Forest. Temperate deciduous forests can be found in the eastern part of the United States and Canada, most of Europe and parts of China and Japan. The temperate deciduous forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall.Winters are cold and summers are warm.Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year. Precipitation in this biome happens year round. Because the soil is very fertile and hardwood trees are good for building, this biome has some of the world's largest population centers in it.emperate deciduous forests can be found in the eastern part of the United States and Canada, most of Europe and parts of China and Japan.

- The average temperature in temperate deciduous forests is 50°F (10°C). Summers are mild, and average about 70°F (21°C), while winter temperatures are often well below freezing. PLANTS: Trees and plants in deciduous forests have special adaptations to survive in this biome.Deciduous trees are trees with leaves rather than pine needles, and they dominate temperate forests.emperate deciduous forests also have quite a wet environment. Following rainforests, temperate deciduous forests are the second-rainiest biome. The average yearly precipitation is 30 - 60 inches (75 - 150 cm).

Temperate deciduous forest Temperate deciduous forests or temperate broad-leaf forests are dominated by trees that lose their leaves each year. They are found in areas with warm moist summers and cool winters. The three major areas of this forest type occur in the Northern Hemisphere: eastern North America, East Asia, and Europe.

Endangered Red Wolves in the Temperate Deciduous Forest Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images. Red wolves, distinguished by their reddish fur, are an endangered species of the temperate deciduous forests in the southeastern U.S. Traditionally, they were top predators who helped balance the forest ecosystem by keeping other animal populations in check.ed wolves play an important role in the temperate deciduous ecosystem. They prey on nuisance animals, like rabbits, deer and small rodents, that cause damage to crops, levees, roads and farm equipment.

Temperate Deciduous Forest Conservation The soil in the temperate deciduous forest is very rich and fertile and needs to be protected instead of poisoned. The biggest contributor to acid rain is car exhaust. Some ways that we could help prevent soil pollution is carpool as much as you can to decrease the amount of car exhaust that we produce. Another way in the future is to find an alternative for fossil fuels so were not polluting the earth, soil, and air as much.

Tigers in Crisis The Siberian –or Amur-tiger is considered a critically endangered species with the primary threats to its’ survival in the wild being poaching and habitat loss from intensive logging and development.Tigers are most commonly poached for their fur and for their body parts used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.It is estimated that in 1991 alone, one-third of the Siberian tiger population was killed to meet the demand for their bones and other parts used in this practice.igers are most commonly poached for their fur and for their body parts used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Temperate deciduous forest Birds such as broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are also found in this biome. Mammals include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines, and red foxes. Animals that live in the temperate deciduous forest must be able to adapt to the changing seasons. Many understory plants have leaf adaptions to cope with low light levels, and the need to exploit moving flecks of light on the forest floor.

Walia ibex It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Alpine ibex. Threats against the species include habitat loss, poaching, and restricted range; only about 500 individuals survived in the mountains of Ethiopia, concentrated in the Semien Mountains, largely due to past poaching and habitat depletion.he walia ibex is considered to be endangered by the IUCN and needs further conservation measures to survive. Since no captive population is kept anywhere in the world, the IUCN recommends capturing a few individuals to form the nucleus of a captive breeding group.
