Answer: Saiga antelope
Notes: The saiga antelope has had its conservation status upgraded from Critically Endangered to Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, marking a conservation success story. Once-abundant saiga numbers dropped massively since the 1990s largely due to poaching. But Kazakhstan's leadership in recent protection efforts, reducing poaching and disease outbreaks, has led to revival of numbers, enabling the status change. Saiga has two sub-species: Saiga tatarica tatarica (found in most of the range) and Saiga tatarica mongolica (found only in Mongolia). The antelope were once found throughout the Eurasian Steppe, the great band of grassland that stretches from Hungary in Europe to Manchuria in Asia. Today, the animal is found in fragmented populations within Kazakhstan, Mongolia, the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan
