Species of Conservation Concern

"Species of Conservation Concern" are plants or animals that face threats to their survival, risking becoming endangered or extinct if those threats aren’t addressed. These species may have shrinking populations, loss of habitat, or other challenges that threaten their future. Recognizing them helps conservation efforts prioritize actions to protect their habitats, reduce risks, and ensure they remain part of our natural world. Essentially, they are species that need attention to prevent further decline and support biodiversity.
