panda
African elephants
blue whale: I know that they're being hunted and their number is getting dramatically smaller, so they're in danger of extinction. Blue whales need large and clear water habitats, so it's difficult for them to adapt to the changes.
panda: I know that panda is the treasure of China. Now the number is about 2,000 and China has built some national natural preserves such as the Wo Long National Natural Preserve in Si Chuan to provide enough bamboo for them.
Arican elephants: Because of their ivory, African elephants are being hunting illegally. So the number of them is dramatically decreasing. Luckily, many countries have passed laws to ban on trading the ivory and protect elephants.
