Can You Name These Rare Animals?

Forests occupy just a little over 30 per cent of planet's land area. They are home to 1.5 to 2 million animal species of which about 10 per cent can be categorized as rare and endangered. We are losing forests at the rate of 18 million acres every year thanks to ever-growing needs of humans. Large-scale burning, clearing of forests for agriculture, ranching and development, relentless logging for timber have all taken their toll on this green cover.The worst affected by this destruction are animals who are denizens of these dwindling forests and have suddenly found entire eco-systems snatched away from them. Some species have been reduced to such numbers that they could face extinction in years to come if humans carry on with their wanton ways. This quiz will test your knowledge of such animals and the 15 questions to follow intends to do just that.

While the population of the earth grew exponentially over the centuries, that of certain countries actually declined. Take the case of Ireland. The Irish Potato Famine or Great Irish Famine of 1845 - 49 saw the Irish population declining steeply from 8.4 million to 6.6 million in just a period of six years ending 1851. The number of people leaving Ireland's shores during that phase (mostly for the United States) numbered 2 million. By 1921, the year Ireland got its independence, the population was half of what it was during the 1840s. Even as today, the combined population of both the Irish nations - Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland - stands at 6.3 million which is equal to its pre-1845 days.
