article: Despite only occupying 1 per cent of the Earth's land mass, Indonesia's rainforests are home to 12 per cent of mammal species in the world including the Sumatran rhino and the Talaud fruit bat. The region tops the list of countries with the most threatened mammals, according to maps based on data from the World Bank. And Madagascar is second, with 114 endangered mammals, while Mexico sits in third with 101. The Eco Experts has created maps plotting which countries have the most threatened mammals. The firm used the World Bank's World Development Indicator for Deforestation and biodiversity figures . The maps were designed by London-based The Eco Experts using the World Bank's World Development Indicator for deforestation and biodiversity figures. Indonesia sits at the top of the list because deforestation in the region is leaving many species at risk, including orangutans and critically endangered Sumatran tigers and rhinos. 1. Indonesia - 184 . 2. Madagascar - 114 . 3. Mexico - 101 . 4. India - 94 . 5. Brazil - 82 . 6. China - 73 . 7. Malaysia - 70 . 8. Thailand - 55 . 9. Australia - 55 . 10. Peru - 54 . In Madagascar, lemurs are one of the most at risk species, as are shrew tenrecs. There are 105 recognised species of lemur, of which 24 are critically endangered, 49 are endangered, 20 are vulnerable and three are near-threatened. In Mexico, the loss of habitat as a result of agriculture and fishing has already driven many species close to extinction. For example, vaquita is the world’s rarest marine mammal. The small porpoise wasn't discovered until 1958 but there are now said to be fewer than 100 in the wild. In Brazil there are 82 endangered mammals. Experts from Lancaster University recently surveyed households in the cities of Borba and Novo Aripuanã to find out which animals they hunt and eat from the rainforest. The UK has five endangered mammals, but these are almost exclusively marine mammals such as seals and whales that have come under threat from over fishing, including the blue whale, the fin whale, the sei whale and the North Atlantic right whale . Despite only occupying 1% of the Earth's land mass, Indonesia's rainforests are home to 12% of mammal species in the world. These include the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Talaud Fruit Bat and the Sea Otter . Indonesia sits at the top of the list because deforestation in the region is leaving many species at risk including orangutans and critically endangered Sumatran tigers (pictured) and rhinos . They found that virtually all of the 153 households - 99 per cent - eat fish found in the jungle at least once a month, while 79 per cent eat bushmeat made up of both mammals and birds. Nearly half of the households surveyed - 48 per cent - said they eat turtles and tortoises, with 28 per cent feasting on caimans. And some of the species being eaten are classed as endangered, vulnerable and threatened. Madagascar is second on the list with 114 endangered mammals, with threats particularly facing lemurs and the region's shrew tenrecs. This compares to 38 in Cameroon and 24 in South Africa . There are 105 recognised species of lemur (ruffed lemur pictured), of which 24 are critically endangered, 49 are endangered, 20 are vulnerable and three are near-threatened . These include a type of forest pig called the white-lipped peccary, which despite being ‘near threatened’ was eaten by 19 per cent of those surveyed. The UK has five endangered mammals, but these are almost exclusively marine mammals such as seals and whales that have come under threat from over fishing. These include the blue whale, the fin whale, the sei whale and the North Atlantic right whale. In the US, there are 35 endangered species including breeds of rats, bats and wolves. Elsewhere in Europe, Spain has 16 endangered mammals including the Iberian lynx (pictured left), while Portugal has 11, Turkey has 17, Ukraine has 11 and Russia has 31. This includes the Russian Desman (right) These include the giant kangaroo rat, the Indiana myosis bat, the black-footed ferret and the hog deer. During the 20th century, the global population of hog deer drastically dropped, with the almost total loss of hog deer from southeast Asia. Falling numbers are blamed on heavy hunting in these regions.

The black-footed ferret (left) is also at risk in North America, as is the Hawaiian monk seal (pictured right) Jon Whiting from the Eco Experts said: 'This new data is really alarming and suggests we need to do something urgently if we are going to prevent the extinction of these species. 'The most depressing element is that each of these threats are a direct result of human activity and our impact on the natural world. Many of our most beautiful species are just silently slipping away, so it is incredibly important to raise awareness and pressure nations to be more responsible.' In Brazil there are 82 endangered mammals.
