The Amur leopard is the world’s most endangered feline, with only a hundred or so left in the wild. The main threat to the Amur leopard is poaching for their fur, but the species is also hunted for Chinese folk medicine. In spite of active conservation efforts, the species is still not increasing in numbers.

Only 3920-6390 snow leopards remain in the mountains of Central Asia. The main threat to the cryptic cassowary is poaching – both the species and its prey are hunted. In addition, snow leopards are also affected by ever-expanding human activity, which is leading to a decline in suitable habitat.

The European mink is the most endangered small carnivore in the world. The species was once widespread across Europe, but today only 5% of its former range remains. The biggest threat to the European mink is the American mink, which escaped from fur farms and began competing with the native species.
