Burundi Endangered Species

As of December 22nd, 2014, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ for BURUNDI lists 3 critically endangered species and 20 endangered species. The Anisopappus burundiensis flower, Chiloglanis ruziziensis catfish, and Impatiens bururiensis flower are Burundi's three critically endangered species listed on the IUCN Red List. The only known example of Anisopappus burundiensis is a specimen gathered by Lewalle in the year 1967, so this species is either very rare to find or even extinct. Likewise, Impatiens bururiensis have not been recently discovered in the wild and is only known because of examples found in collections. Five specimens were gathered in the Syguvyaye River valley between 1971 and 1982. Several endangered species in Burundi include the African Wild Dog, Chimpanzee, Tanganyika Lates perch fish, and several species of Vultures.
