The IUCN Species Survival Commission has issued a call for immediate action to save Saola from extinction. In a position statement released recently, they emphasize the critical need for greater search efforts for the elusive species.
Since its discovery in 1992, there has been little detection of the animal, which suggests that it is now very rare.
