Bornean orangutan declared critically endangered
The Bornean orangutan, an orangutan species native to the island of Borneo, has been declared as a "Critically Endangered" species. Its count has reportedly shrunk by over 50% to 1,00,000 since 1973 due to growing human pressures, and is expected to further drop to 47,000 by 2025. The Whale shark, world's largest fish, was also enlisted as an "Endangered" species.
