Stunning photos from a new book have captured the magnificent animals of our natural world on the brink of survival. Pictures, a tiger named Sita carrying her cub in her mouth 

The images are revealed in a picture-book biography of photographer Michael Nichols. One fascinating wildlife photograph shows a group of black mountain gorillas dominating the jungle

The Zoological Society of London and WWF conducted an assessment in 2016 that revealed global wildlife populations have fallen by 58 per cent since 1970. Pictured, the Vumbi pride of lions in the Serengeti 

They suggested that if the trend is consistent, two-thirds of the vertebrate population could decline by 2020. Pictured, Whiskey the chimpanzee chained up in a disused toilet in Bujumbura, Burundi

Melissa Harris, who has written the biography, said: 'Nick is a photojournalist working in a time of crisis. Habitat and species are continually threatened by humans.' Pictured, a Northern spotted owl in Humboldt County, California

She added: 'Some have already been eradicated, others are beyond the possibility of regeneration if action is not taken soon.' Pictured, a charging elephant in Dzanga Bai, Central African Republic
