For Endangered Species Day (15 MAY), British wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has selected some of his poignant photographs to show species at risk.
He has also used the day to emphasise the plight of persecuted animals during the pandemic.
Paul says: "Wildlife tourism is big business and millions of people and indeed animals depend on it".
"Most wilderness areas with wildlife have not been touched by Covid-19 yet the complete absence of tourists can cause far more damage than the virus".
"Wildlife will suffer because of this tourism drought and the sooner the tourists return with their inquisitive and prying eyes the sooner animals will be better protected".
