As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, I can provide information on some currently endangered species, but for the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is advisable to check resources like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List or local conservation organizations. Here are five examples of endangered species and their geographic locations:

1. **Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)**
- **Location:** Primarily found in the Russian Far East (specifically in the Land of the Leopard National Park), and a small population exists in Northeast China.

2. **Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii)**
- **Location:** Endemic to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, primarily in the northern areas of the island, including the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park.

3. **Vaquita (Phocoena sinus)**
- **Location:** Found only in the northern part of the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) in Mexico.

4. **Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus)**
- **Location:** The majority of the Javan rhino population is confined to Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia.

5. **Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)**
- **Location:** Found in tropical coral reefs around the world, including the Caribbean, the Red Sea, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans, although populations are declining in many areas.

Please verify these species' conservation status with the latest data, as the status of species can change due to conservation efforts and other factors.
