Rainforest endangered animals are increasing at an alarming rate.
There are several reptiles and insects that are getting endangered in the rainforest.

The Daintree region accounts for many Rainforest endangered animals like Bennett’s Tree Kangaroo, Southern Cassowary, etc. The green police have determined that rainforests of Indonesia have seen a large scale endangerment of Orangutans. Some non-profit rescue Australian organizations of the rainforest animals had began working in 1998. These organizations have helped to recover the habitat of many of these animals over the years. The rate of Rainforest endangered animals is also high in Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Brazil, Sumatra and India.
