Do you know which species in the world are most likely to go extinct? The Zoological Society of London has compiled a top 100 list, including the sneezing monkey, Franklin's Bumble Bee, Sumatran rhino, which features in a new report: 'Priceless or Worthless?'
The list's creation and publication has received the backing of His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge who said: "This book does not merely tell us which species are most endangered, it shows us how we can save them. It challenges us to commit to safeguarding our priceless natural heritage for future generations".
