Check out the elephants at risk of extinction, and the wild cats that are bouncing back Over 45,000 species are now threatened with extinction - 1,000 more than last year - according to an international conservation organization that blames pressures from climate change, invasive species and human activity such as illicit trade and infrastructural expansion.
