    The update earlier this month more than doubled the number of animals on the list by adding 517 protected species, bringing the total to 980.

    About three-fourths of the new additions are birds, including the critically endangered spoon-billed sandpiper and yellow-breasted bunting. Less than 700 of the former exist in the wild.
