Seems like our friend the Saiga has made it onto the front page of the EDGE website, although he’s ranked at 62 on their list.
Launched back in mid January this year, the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) program makes for sad reading. As they launched, it is suspected that their No. 1, the Yangtze River Dolphin, may already have gone – just as we find out about another species – the Clouded Leopard. Now, that’s a high profile animal if ever I saw one.
