Red Wolves
There are about 25 known Red Wolves in the wild.
American Chestnut Tree
American Chestnut trees are considered functionally extinct in the wild due to chestnut blight, but pockets of resistant trees still exist.
Coral Reefs
If manmade climate changes continue at the current rate, all of the world's coral reefs could be gone by 2050.
Sumatran Tiger
Fewer than 400 Sumatran Tigers are left in the wild today, in just two shrinking areas of habitat.
Giant Otters
Giant Otters were hunted for their fur in the past, and are now threatened by mining, damming, logging and over fishing in their habitat.
In 2006, it was thought that there were 1,000--5,000 otters left in the wild.
The IUCN predicts that giant otter populations may halve in the next 20 years if current trends continue.
