There are about 104,700 Bornean orangutans in the wild and they are classed as critically endangered. There are fewer than 14,000 Sumatran orangutans left in the wild and they are classed as critically endangered.
Unfortunately, due to them being highly endangered they may be the first great apes to go extinct in modern times. Global Conservation projects have two out of the three species of Orangutan, the Bornean orangutan and the Sumatran orangutan.

In 2025, mountain gorillas are still classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
While their numbers have increased in recent decades, reaching around 1,063 individuals in 2024-2025. This increase was significant enough that their status was downgraded from “critically endangered” to “endangered” in 2018.

Modelled on a famous Great White, Deep Blue is a female great white shark that is estimated to be 6.1 m long or larger and is now sixty years old. She is believed to be one of the largest ever recorded in history.
The Great White faces numerous ecological challenges which has resulted in international protection. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the great white shark as a vulnerable species, and it is included in Appendix II of CITES. This status indicates they are facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. Their population trend is considered to be decreasing, influenced by factors like overfishing, bycatch in commercial fisheries, and entanglement in beach protection nets, also illegal finning is a very sad and cruel practice that is decimating shark number’s.

The plains bison is listed Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. While no longer facing extinction due to conservation efforts, they are still vulnerable and face threats such as loss of genetic diversity, habitat fragmentation, and the lack of large, unconfined populations to fulfill their historical ecological role. Most of the current population exists in private, commercial, or small conservation herds, hindering their ability to thrive and act as a keystone species in the ecosystem.

And nap the golden hours away.
The red panda’s status is endangered, with populations in the wild estimated to be under 10,000 individuals, though the exact number is uncertain and some estimates are as low as 2,500. Their declining numbers are due to habitat loss from logging and agriculture, poaching, and diseases spread by domestic animals. They are legally protected in several countries where they live, such as India, China, Nepal, Myanmar, and Bhutan.

This young Northern White Rhino is walking away from a role in the mud and sand, just a dream of what many will never see again.
Sadly the Northern White Rhino is critically endangered and considered functionally extinct in the wild. Only two individuals remain, both female, and they are housed at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. These rhinos, Fatu and Najin, are under 24-hour armed guard. The subspecies’ near extinction is due to decades of poaching for their horns.
We create beautiful things but we destroy such beauty without a second thought.
