Arctic fox aren't, and have never been, endangered. Their conservation status is "Least Concern." People have not needed to take action to conserve the Arctic fox species.

However, two subpopulations are endangered. One of these, on Medny Island, Russia, has suffered because of mange brought by an ear tick of the domestic dog. The foxes are currently being treated using antiparasitic medications, but nobody knows whether it will work or not.

The other rare subpopulation is in Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula. This population was decimated early in the 1900's for the fur trade.

The white rhinoceros is endangered because of hunters who hunt them for their horns and other parts of their bodies. They have over-hunted the white rhinos, and now they are endangered. Many charities and breeding programs have been set up to save these animals, just like any other endangered animal. Zoos tend to have breeding programs, and if you adopt a rhino, generally the money goes to helping poreserve their territory, breeding them etc. etc.

There are many reasons Grey wolves became endangered. One of them is for economic reasons, such as selling body parts and fur of the Grey wolves. Another reason is for sport, hunting, for example.
