Pika

The pika (or Ilia pika) is a tiny mammal that was only first discovered in 1983 and since then their numbers have sharply declined by a staggering 70%. They can be found in the extremely remote Xinjiang region of China, living in the Tianshan mountain range at high elevations. There are believed to be only 1,000 left in the wild and their numbers continue to dwindle as climate change has forced them to live higher and higher up into the mountains.
