Endangered Animals.
An endangered species is a
species of
organisms that will likely become
extinct. The phrase 'endangered species' colloquially refers to any species that fits this description whereas
conservation biologists typically with it refer to species that are designated Endangered in the
IUCN Red List, wherein "endangered" is the second most severe
conservation status for wild populations, following
Critically Endangered. 3079
animals and 2655
plants are Endangered worldwide, compared with 1998 levels of 1102 and 1197, respectively. The amount, population trend, and conservation status of each species can be found in the
Lists of organisms by population.
Many nations have
laws that protect
conservation reliant species: for example, forbidding
hunting, restricting land development, or creating preserves.
