Eritrea Endangered Species


As of June 30th, 2015, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ for ERITREA in East Africa lists 5 critically endangered species and 16 endangered species. Fortunately, Eritrea does not have any extinct species on the IUCN Red List, although the country does have aquatic species in the Red Sea that are endangered from overfishing and other environment pressures. The critically endangered species are the African Wild Donkey, Green Sawfish, Hawksbill Turtle, Northern Bald Ibis, and Sociable Lapwing. Some of Eritrea's endangered species include the African Wild Dog, Black Teatfish, Gabal Elba Dragon Tree, Golden Sandfish, Hooded Vulture, Humphead Wrasse fish, and Prickly Redfish (Pineapple Sea Cucumber).
