Threatened Species

Threatened species are plants or animals that face the possibility of extinction in the near future. This status is due to various factors, including habitat loss, climate change, pollution, overfishing, and invasive species. When a species is classified as threatened, it means their population has declined significantly, and they need protection to survive. Conservation efforts are crucial to prevent them from becoming endangered, which means they are at a higher risk of disappearing entirely. Understanding and supporting these efforts contribute to biodiversity and the health of our ecosystems.
