I would have to say the Iberian Lynx as it has faced extinction repeatedly. Additional Information: The Iberian Lynx is listed by the International Union of Conservation for Nature, or the IUCN Red List with a status of "critically endangered", and the population trend posted as "decreasing". They are also protected by the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES. Some consider the Iberian Lynx as part of the "big cat" group even though they are not really large. There are many small cats in circumstances as dire as the Iberian Lynx, but there is not a specific cat that has been chosen formally as the most endangered by the IUCN Red List or the US FWS Endangered Species List. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

At some time the people of NZ must have chosen it as their icon. Probably because it is unique to NZ. The kiwi is New Zealand's national icon because it is a New Zealand native bird. It is a unique indigenous bird, easily identifiable, and for those reasons has been chosen as an icon. This flightless bird has some completely unique characteristics which are not shared with any other species, such as nostrils at the very end of its bill, and an extremely highly developed sense of smell which enables it to detect food underground to the length of its bill. The kiwi is not the only native bird which is endangered in New Zealand, but it has a very distinctive and easily recognised shape, which make it ideal as a New Zealand "icon". It is also in need of protection as, like many other species, it has become highly threatened by the effects of European settlement.
