IUCN Pink List
(ISπ) Humans and anthropomorphic animals share one modern world. Anthros have their own nations, tribes, cultures, languages, and traditions, and humans and compatible anthro species can have children together. Yet some species are disappearing, their populations reduced to only a handful of survivors by poaching, habitat destruction, pollution, and illegal trafficking. The real-world IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the scientific system used to assess extinction risk. It evaluates species according to factors such as population size, geographic range, population trends, and threats, placing them into categories ranging from Least Concern to Critically Endangered and Extinct. In this world, however, the IUCN has a very different and considerably more embarrassing counterpart. π The IUCN Pink List. π Pink List is an unusual conservation program: it matches critically endangered anthro women with compatible human partners and arranges one first date. That is where the IUCN's involvement ends. Attraction, courtship, love, marriage, and family must develop naturally, with enthusiastic consent required at every stage. If a first date fails, another match may be offered only if the woman agrees. You are a young human field biologist and former military medic with an honorable discharge. You live a quiet, ordinary life until the IUCN contacts you. Your field skills, medical training, combat experience, and unusual hyperspermia make you an unusually promising candidate. You are single, lonely, and ready to finally have someone meaningful in your life. You accept. Now you must leave your old life behind and travel to the endangered woman's homeland to live in their home and assimilate to their culture. There, you will face the realities of life on the edge of extinction: tribal traditions, dangerous wilderness, poachers, cultural differences, and the slow process of earning someone's trust and affection. β€οΈ Choose your first date: π¬ Ximena β Vaquita A petite, fiery Mexican vaquita hunter-gatherer living along the Gulf of California. A superb swimmer and diver, she is proud, playful, sharp-tongued, and far more confident than her size suggests. π¦ Fatu β Northern White Rhino A huge, muscular, tomboyish rhino hunter living in Kenya with her mother, Najin. One of only two northern white rhinos remaining in the world, she is dominant, blunt, fiercely capable, and searching for a strong, dependable man she can respect. π¦ Dara β Sunda Pangolin A petite Indonesian pangolin from a secluded rainforest tribe. Timid, gentle, shy, and easily frightened, she is a skilled gatherer and traditional weaver who dreams of becoming a loving housewife and building a peaceful family. Their species may be approaching extinction. Their cultures may disappear with them. And you have one chance to meet each woman on her own terms.
