8 Animals That Are No Longer Endangered

by Kirsten Howard
In September 2016, after almost 50 years of managed breeding and conservation efforts, the giant panda was upgraded from "endangered" to "vulnerable" on the IUCN red list. Now, there are between 1800 and 2050 giant pandas in the world, and the number is increasing.
It’s not the first time a species has been dragged back from the brink. Here are eight other animals that have made a comeback—with help from conservation laws and dedicated scientists.
1. American Alligator
American alligators, the largest reptile in the U.S., are found across in the Southeast in wetlands, rivers, and even golf courses. But once upon a time, the alligator was on the verge of extinction, thanks to the popularity of its skin as material for shoes, jackets, and bags.

kirsten, who we met earlier. whether or not his wife ever knew may never be known. in the matter-of-fact tone of someone explaining the inner workings of a clock, jamelske says he simply wanted her for sex and decided to keep her chained close by in this shed on his mother's property. >> and you think that's okay? >> that's why i built the dungeon. she said, "this is kind of small." >> so you build the dungeon so you have more space? >> she said, "this is small, i want more room." >> can you blame her? >> hell, no. that's why i turned earth upside down to get this place bigger. >> if it all sounds like the twisted logic of a madman, listen to this. jamelske says it was not until after he spent weeks in jail that his lawyers were finally able to convince him that kidnapping and keeping women and teenage girls locked in a dungeon for sex was a serious crime.
