ENDANGERED SPECIES ACTIVITY - EXAMPLE
The IUCN publishes a Red List of Threatened Species every four years. You can see the Red List: http://www.redlist.org/
An endangered species is a species of organisms that will likely become extinct. The phrase 'endangered species' basically refers to any species that fits this description
threatened species are:
| Extinct 'Extinct in the Wild' | The species has definitely not been seen in the wild in the past 50 yearsThe species only exists in captivity, and no longer in the wild | Example:Thylacine Example:Kakapo | Find out more about extinction |
| Critically Endangered | The species is facing an extremely high risk of becoming extinct very soon | Example:Mountain Gorilla | Find out about the Critically endangered Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat |
| Endangered | The species is in danger of becoming extinct.This includes species that may be extinct but have been seen in the wild less than 50 years ago. | Example: Peregrine Falcon | Some Australian endangered species |
| Vulnerable | The species is likely to move into the Endangered category soon if conditions do not change. | Examples:HippopotamusGalapagos marine iguana | Find out about the Humpback Whale |
| Near Threatened | Species whose numbers are dropping and is close to becoming vulnerable or endangered. | Example:European Otter | Find out about the Near Threatened Buzzing Frog |
| Least Concern | A species that is not vulnerable or endangered, but is common | ||
| Data Deficient | There is not enough information at this time to know which category a species is in. | ||
| Commercially threatened | A species with good numbers at the moment, but which are being killed in large numbers for commercial reasons. The species will become endangered unless the killing can be controlled. | Example:Pearl oysters |
