Orange clownfish are about to become extinct

The orange clownfish, with its famous version in Finding Nemo animation, is facing the danger of extinction and needs to be protected.

The Center for Biodiversity, based in Arizona, has asked the federal government to consider giving orange clownfish and seven other species of rock perch that live on coral reefs facing risk of joining the red book.

The organization said it was the increase in acid levels in seawater that destroyed coral and fish that relied on it.

'As we continue to emit greenhouse gases, we will also see more animals and organisms in the United States and around the world being pushed to the brink of extinction due to climate change. " McClatchy quoted expert Shaye Wolf, the center's climate science director, said.

Orange clownfish are found in the Pacific Ocean near Australia, while others live in US waters.

This beautiful fish has become globally popular after the Finding Nemo animation, which was released in 2003.
