Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, China Pandas were once so elusive they seemed almost mythical. They had existed for millions of years, but remained unknown to the Western world until 1869, when a French missionary first documented them scientifically.

Caribou just outside the Nunamiut Indigenous community. Community members say that over the last decade, the caribou have only come through in the spring and can no longer be found returning in the fall like they once did. The Western Arctic Herd was once the biggest caribou herd in the world, but now their status is critical. Since 2003, the herd has gone from 500,000 animals to fewer than 150,000, with a quarter of the losses happening in just the past three years.
