Positive Endangered Animal Statistics

I looked through some articles about some of WWF's recent major successes, and found this article really useful. It brought to my attention that Southern White Rhinos and Golden Lion Tamarin Monkeys have recently had a population resurgence when they were believed to be extinct. I'll use these animals in the posters as ambassadors for WWF's good work. I'm also going to use pandas as well, as they represent wildlife in general through WWF's logo as discussed in my essay when talking about the use of celebrity. This is still appropriate because panda conservation is also going really well at the moment, as this article shows.















These animals fit the cute connotations I'm looking for, so using them is appropriate. I looked into the populations of the animals so I had some facts and figures to use in the posters. I found that often you only get told the current numbers of the animals and the number of them when they were at their most vulnerable. I managed to find these graphs though, which give me an idea of how many animals there were over a wider time scale.













These figures are particularly useful because they lend themselves well to an infographic style of poster, which opens up more possibilities.
