Extinction Threaten Pink Flamingos
The world's most seemingly toxic lakes are under threat. These lakes are also home to one of our most familiar birds: the flamingo. Lakes in Kenya’s Rift Valley have risen since 2011, to levels not seen in the last 50 years. This has caused the number of lesser flamingos decrease each year and humans are to blame, or rather, the climate change. If nothing is done by humans, flamingos will vanish.
