The hangul deer, also referred to as the Kashmir stag, is in danger of going extinct despite conservation efforts. The state animal of Jammu and Kashmir is this timid and delicate species, the only extant Asiatic sub-species of the European red deer. It is native to the hills of Kashmir, especially Dachigam National Park, but it faces habitat loss and poaching. Considered critically endangered by the IUCN and included in CITES Appendix I, immediate action is required to prevent its extinction.
