This is about the saola. It's my first Endanger Ranger project. BTW: It's pronounced sow-la Speech: One of the most endangered animals in the world is unheard of to most people. The soala, also known as the asian unicorn. the soala is a small deer. Found exclusively in the Greater Mekong, very little is known about it. It's population is unknown, with a few hundred as the maximum, and a few dozen at the minimum. This is a startling number, and we still barely know more than when it was discovered 25 years ago. None exist in captivity and scientists have only documented it 4 times to date. And while habitat loss is wreaking havoc on the species, poaching and hunting is the biggest threat to the soala. Help protect it by spreading awareness and donating to foundations. These foundations include WWF, or the World Wildlife Foundation, and the Soala Working group.
