The 10 most endangered forests in the world (With Pictures)

6. Mountains of South-West China, Asia Pacific

The Mountains of Southwest China in the Asia-Pacific region, with the temperate coniferous forests support a wide array temperate flora, and the endemic species include the endangered giant panda, entirely restricted to these shrinking forests, the red panda, a smaller relative of the giant panda, and many species in the river systems. Illegal hunting, overgrazing and firewood collection are some of the primary threats to biodiversity here. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest dam, along with other dams on the rivers, have destroyed all but just 8% of the original habitat.
