Bornean elephants classified as endangered on IUCN Red List due to human activities and population decline.

The latest IUCN Red List of threatened species reports Bornean elephants as endangered due to human activities such as agriculture, mining, and logging. The population has dwindled to around 1,000 elephants, placing them at high risk of extinction. This follows the inclusion of reptile species on Gran Canaria and Ibiza at risk due to invasive snakes, and the increased threat to over 80% of ornamental Copiapoa cacti due to trade and climate change.
