Another primate suffering from habitat loss is the majestic eastern lowland gorilla, also known as the Grauer’s gorilla, the largest gorilla in the world. It is endemic to the mountain forests of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where they are being hunted by poachers and suffering habitat loss due to coltan mining, in addition to ongoing civil conflicts that are decimating their populations. Their numbers are declining at a rate of 24 percent every decade.

Three of the world's five rhino species are thriving while two face extinction, new report finds

Classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, Javan rhinos (Rhinoceros sondaicus) live only in Ujung Kulon National Park, on the Indonesian island of Java, having disappeared completely from northeastern India, Bangladesh, Burma, and most recently, Vietnam in 2010.
Similarly, Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) live in fragmented rainforest habitats across the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, making it difficult for breeding-age animals to meet. The population has dropped to as low as 34, down from more than 300, in 2005.

From a backyard to Black Beauty Ranch: Elsa's story

In February 2021, as a historic freeze gripped Texas, a six-month-old tiger was found in someone's backyard in below-freezing temperatures, wearing a harness. Rescued from the wild pet trade, she was brought to Black Beauty Ranch, our sanctuary in Texas, and given a name: Elsa.

At Black Beauty Ranch, Elsa would never wear a leash again. Today, she roams freely in her three-quarter-of-an-acre enclosure with trees, a climbing platform, a waterfall and a pool, living life as a tiger should. Watch the video to meet Elsa and see what sanctuary truly means for a rescued tiger.

Up to 300 wolves could be killed in Montana this hunting season, a higher number than the state's own wildlife agency recommended, after officials admitted they'd been overestimating the wolf population for years.

The Montana Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) voted at an August 19 meeting to set the quota at 300 wolves, 50 more than the 250 proposed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP).

With the hunting season opening September 5, that means nearly half of the state's wolves could be killed in the coming months using methods including bait, traps and snares, artificial light, night vision, and thermal and infrared imaging.

Yangtze Finless Porpoise
This rare Chinese river animal has been classified as “critically endangered” on the IUCN Red List since 2013. It inhabits the waters of the Yangtze, possibly the most degraded river system in the world. Overpopulation, pollution, shipping traffic, dam construction, illegal electrofishing, and habitat loss, among other factors, are making it increasingly difficult to spot these endearing porpoises.

The Sumatran elephant is one of the three recognized subspecies of the Asian elephant, also native to Indonesia. According to data from the WWF, the species has been reclassified from “threatened” to “critically endangered,” with its population having declined by half since 1985.

Planting a tree today ahead of Endangered Species Day on Friday. Forests hold most of the world's land biodiversity, so protecting them is one of the best things we can do!

The kākāpō is critically endangered; the total known population of living individuals is 235 (as of 2026). They are the heaviest living species of parrot and can not fly. The kākāpō is entirely herbivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, leaves, stems, and rhizomes. In particular, they like to feed on the fruit of the Rimu tree. Interestingly, to attract females, males make loud, low-frequency (below 100 Hz) booming calls which can be heard at least 1 kilometre away.
