Endangered Species
Definition of Endangered Species as it relates to Environment
Endangered species refers to organisms whose populations are at risk of becoming extinct due to various environmental factors, such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and disease. These species are often protected by legislation and conservation efforts to preserve their genetic diversity and ecological roles within ecosystems. The category encompasses a wide range of plant and animal life, from iconic mammals like elephants, pandas, and polar bears to less charismatic but equally vital organisms such as insects, fungi, and microorganisms. Efforts to conserve endangered species not only benefit the species themselves but also help maintain ecosystem health and resilience, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the rich biodiversity of our planet.
