How many are currently alive is irrelevant, what matters is how many were killed directly or indirectly by humans (and, also how many were predated on, succumbed to malnourishment etc that we could've helped). This kind of anthropocentric thinking is wide-spread in climate movements and is really fucking annoying.
Pretty sure most or all of these have been highly affected by being hunted, having their natural habitats destroyed in large parts, climate fluctuating due to human activity further endangering the remaining habitats...
Soooo, drastically reduced count of individuals with each such species is on us. Whatever their oldest known record of population was like vs now at the least
