ENDANGERED ANIMALS

What is the definition of an endangered species?
Endangered means a species is in danger of becoming extinct.
Endangered or threatened animal.
Endangered Means There is Still Time.

WWF ( World Wildlife Fund) has worked to protect endangered species. WWF doesn't determine which species are considered endangered. The IUCN (the World Conservation Union) is the organization that WWF and other conservation groups, government agencies, scientists and academics look to for that information. IUCN brings together the world's leading scientists, including those from WWF, to assess the conservation status of species, subspecies, varieties and subpopulations on a global scale, highlighting species threatened with extinction and promoting their conservation.
Some of the endangered animals are tiger, lion, elephant, giant panda, gorillas, rhinoceroes, etc.
