Iconic Wildlife

These are the animals on the posters. The species the World Wildlife Fund built its logo around, the ones every kid can draw, the ones whose decline made conservation a global concern instead of a local one. They are also among the most endangered animals on the planet. Western lowland gorillas are critically endangered. The northern white rhino has two living females left. Giraffe populations have dropped 40% in three decades — a silent extinction happening at scale. The giant panda, in contrast, is the textbook recovery, downlisted from Endangered to Vulnerable after decades of Chinese reserve work. This collection illustrates each animal with the care its scarcity deserves — not as a logo, but as a living thing rendered in line.
