Some, like the Asiatic lion, have made truly heroic comebacks from the very brink of extinction: from just a dozen lions left alive in 1890, there are now more than 600. Others have not been so lucky: spiralling to its almost inevitable doom is the wonderful Great Indian bustard, down to maybe just 100 birds. Another is the rare Ganges river dolphin, whose riverine habitat is being sectioned off by dams, and is being dredged and made suitable for huge ships. The lovely forest owlet seems to be popping up in central Indian forests all over, though its numbers are still painfully low.
