    At present, there is no official or academic confirmation that there is only one left in the world. Normally, it is very rare for a population to be reduced to just one animal, as such a situation usually represents a serious state of endangerment.


    However, there have been some animal species in history that were on the verge of extinction in the wild, with only a handful of individuals left. Take the one-horned rhinoceros (western rhinoceros), a rhino population that was once widespread in Vietnam and elsewhere, but whose numbers have plummeted over the past few years to the point where only a handful of individuals remain. . This situation requires global attention and protection.


    In response to endangered animal species, the international community and national governments will take a series of protection measures, including protecting habitats, banning hunting, and carrying out artificial breeding, in order to change the fate of these animals.
