Endangered Species

Definition of Endangered Species as it relates to Animals, Extinct Animals, Great Auk

Endangered Species refers to animals that are at risk of becoming extinct due to various factors such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and human activities. This category includes species that are critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, or near threatened, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. It is a call to action to protect these animals and their habitats, as well as to promote sustainable practices to ensure their survival. The Great Auk, a flightless bird that once inhabited the North Atlantic, is an example of an animal that has gone extinct due to human exploitation.
