Endangered species

An endangered species is a species that is much likely to become extinct in the coming future days, either worldwide or in a particular area or country. These Endangered species may be at risk due to various factors such as habitat loss, hunting illegally and invasive species. The global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas are listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Many nations have imposed strict laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbidding illegal hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration have their main motto as conserve some of the endangered species.
