Polar bears are as good as gone now. Tigers, too. African Elephants have 10 years left if poaching continues at the present rate – 36 thousand elephants a year or one killed every 15 minutes. Orangutans are nearly gone – all the trees they live in are being cut down and palm oil prioritized. They may survive another decade if things don’t change. One to two hundred million sharks are being killed every year. The populations of many species – including my favorite, the oceanic white tip – are down by 90 percent or more.In fact, 90% of global shark populations are said to have been lost over the past 4 decades.
