The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world’s largest global environmental organisation. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ evaluates the conservation status of plant and animal species.
The Visayan warty pig is categorised as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List, which means that it is nearly extinct in the wild.
There are now only approximately 200 Visayan warty pigs in the Philippines.
Visayan warty pigs live in areas of dense forest that may be close to human habitation.
Suggest two reasons why the Visayan warty pig is critically endangered.
Describe the role of zoos in the protection of the Visayan warty pig.
Sometimes the Visayan warty pigs will breed with domestic pigs, Sus domesticus.
Suggest the consequences of this interspecific breeding.
Table 1.1 shows part of the classification of the Visayan warty pig.
