However, the numbers also show that wildlife is danger if nothing is done to help. According to National Geographic, more than one million species are now at risk of extinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some other alarming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animalmatters.org\/facts\/wildlife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statistics<\/a>: <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wildlife habitats worldwide are being destroyed at a rate of approximately 5,760 acres per day or 240 acres per hour.<\/li><li>Illegal wildlife trafficking throughout the world brings in approximately U.S. $20 billion per year. <\/li><li>An average of 96 elephants are killed for their ivory in Africa each day.<\/li><li>There are more than 1,000 captive animal hunting operations in the United States.<\/li><li>Every year in the U.S. hunters shoot more than 4,000 tons of lead into the environment.
