These two-tusked animals were already rapidly depleting in the 20th century when ivory was used in products. Ivory hunting was endangering elephants, so the government banned it. Nevertheless, illegal poaching was carried out. Now their habitat is shrinking. We have lost 50% of our elephants since 1979. Due to this, there are only 40,000-50,000 elephants left.

Turtles have been in this world for 100 million years, and if we don't stop, it'll be the end of these ancient creatures. Not only does the plastic affect them, but they don't lay that many eggs due to the pressure put on the newborns. Other sea creatures rely on the eggs for food, so many of the eggs are eaten. On top of that, trash is constantly being dumped into the ocean, further endangering turtles.

We all know them for their adorableness , but the happiness may be short lived if you see what's going on on the other side. With only 1,864 of them left, they are at a high risk for extinction. Excessive poaching and deforestation disrupted their habitat. Panda fur is what they are usually killed for, but that was banned because of the rapidly depleting numbers. Still, some are injured or killed when accidentally walking into traps set for other animals.

There are only 3,900 tigers left worldwide. This is because of the pressures from illegal killing, a depleting food supply, and the loss of their natural habitat. The increase of human population is also leaving a deep gash in the tiger population, they are decreasing at an alarming pace, because of human activity.
