An endangered species is one at serious risk of extinction. Some are threatened by poaching, like the rhino hunted for its horn and the pangolin, the most trafficked mammal in the world. Others lose their forest home, such as the orangutan and the gorilla. A few have dropped to tiny numbers, like the vaquita porpoise and the California condor. A sanctuary and breeding program can pull a species back from the brink. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
