Egg Tempera and 23.5 ct Gold Leaf on Ampersand Board
h: 27 w: 20 d: 1 (cms).
This species is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The species was up-listed from Near Threatened to Critically Endangered in 2015 owing to severe targeting by hunters, illegal wildlife trade and deforestation/habitat loss. Numbers are expected to decrease further due to the value placed on the solid horn casque. China is the biggest consumer of the casques, which are often carved for decorations. It is estimated that thousands of birds are lost annually. They are native to Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Conservation and research actions have been proposed to prevent illegal hunting and support livelihoods in forest communities, so that the incentive to poach is minimised.

Egg Tempera and 23.5 ct Gold Leaf on Wood
h: 29 w: 24 d: 1 (cms).
The kakapo is the world's only flightless, nocturnal, and lek-breeding parrot. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Due to intensive conservation, the population has increased from around 50 in the 1990s to approximately 236–252 (as of 2024-2025). All are managed on predator-free islands in New Zealand. Decline is due to introduced predators (cats, stoats, rats), hunting, low genetic diversity, low reproduction rates and disease.

This species is one of the world's most endangered raptors, with fewer than 400-600 breeding pairs (or 250-750 individuals) estimated to remain in the wild. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, a status held since 2000. They are endemic to the Philippines and threatened by habitat loss from deforestation and agricultural expansion, as well as from shooting. The species is considered in danger of extinction due to rapid population declines over the last 50 years.
