Some kinds of animals become extinct all the time, whether it's people who make them extinct, or it's just a part of nature.
Meanwhile, activists and volunteers try their best to save some rare kinds of animals, and sometimes they succeed!
Let's find out more about these kinds of animals that aren't on the brink of extinction anymore!
Giant Panda
Giant pandas were once on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss and low reproduction rates.
However, through conservation efforts, including protecting their natural habitats and implementing breeding programs, their population has increased, and they have been saved from extinction.
California Condor
The California condor is a large bird that faced extinction due to factors such as habitat destruction and poisoning from ingesting lead ammunition.
Conservation programs, such as captive breeding and habitat restoration, have helped increase their numbers and prevent their extinction.
Black-footed Ferret
The black-footed ferret, a small mammal native to North America, was once considered extinct in the wild.
Through captive breeding programs and reintroduction efforts, their population has been restored, making them one of the success stories in saving rare animals.
Arabian Oryx
The Arabian oryx, a desert antelope, was hunted to the brink of extinction.
Conservation initiatives, including captive breeding and reintroduction into protected areas, have led to their population recovery, and they are no longer considered critically endangered.
Amur Leopard
The Amur leopard, a big cat species found in Russia and China, faced severe population decline due to habitat loss and poaching.
Conservation efforts, such as establishing protected areas and anti-poaching measures, have helped stabilize their numbers and prevent their extinction.
