Endangered animals

Endangered (EN) species face a very high risk of extinction in the wild under IUCN criteria. Many are familiar animals — tigers, chimpanzees, and the Asian elephant among them.

Where FaunaHub already publishes a detailed animal profile, the record links straight to it. Always confirm the current category on the official IUCN Red List.

Data limitations

  • These are educational summaries, not the official assessment. Conservation status can change as new science and threats emerge.
  • We show the global IUCN Red List category. National and local status can differ from the global category.
  • Each record shows a last-verified date and a data-confidence flag so you can see how current and how checked it is.
  • Always verify the current status on the official IUCN Red List and the relevant national wildlife authority. FaunaHub does not replace conservation authorities.
