At this very moment, there are about 1,400 living Hawaiian monk seals, and this number is dropping. Poachers are influencing this decline heavily, as is negligent human wasting in the ocean. These animals are close to critical endangerment.

Mexican Wolf

Mexican wolves fell to the hands of hunters who wanted their fur, and to cattle owners who killed them because they were worried about their animals. In 1998, after a great decline in their numbers, wildlife organizations re-introduced these animals back into the wild. Their number are still low, but they are rising slowly.
