Many iconic animals, such as elephants, rhinos, and tigers, are facing severe threats to their survival. Poaching, the illegal hunting of animals, is a major factor, especially for their valuable tusks, horns, or skins. Additionally, human encroachment on their habitats for settlements and agriculture further reduces their living space, pushing these species closer to extinction.
