1. Indian Cheetah
The Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) is one of the fastest creatures on the planet. It can run at more than 90 kilometres per hour and is able to map the surrounding space easily. Yet, its unique speed won't be enough to save this animal from extinction. With the death of the last remaining population of the Asiatic cheetah in India, the species was declared extinct in India; it is the only animal in recorded history to become extinct from India due to unnatural causes.
2. Pink headed Duck
The pink-headed duck (Rhodonessa caryophyllacea) was a large diving duck that was once found in parts of the Gangetic plains of India, Bangladesh and in the riverine swamps of Myanmar but feared to extinct.
3. The Great Indian Bustard
The great Indian bustard or Indian bustard is a bustard found on the Indian subcontinent. A large bird with a horizontal body and long bare legs, giving it an ostrich like appearance, this bird is among the heaviest of the flying birds. The great Indian bustard can easily be distinguished by its black crown on the forehead contrasting with the pale neck and head.
The biggest threat to this species is hunting, which is still prevalent in Pakistan. This is followed by occasional poaching outside Protected Areas, collisions with high tension electric wires, fast moving vehicles and free-ranging dogs in villages.
Threats include for the extinction of these animals are habitat loss and alteration as a result of widespread agricultural expansion and mechanized farming, infrastructural development such as irrigation, roads, electric poles, as well as mining and industrialization.
