An endangered species is a species facing a high risk of extinction. There are currently over 3070 endangered animal species and 2655 endangered plant species worldwide. The main cause of species endangerment and extinction is habitat destruction and fragmentation due to human activities like pollution, deforestation, and destruction of coral reefs. When a species goes extinct it can disrupt the balance of the entire ecosystem. International efforts aim to protect endangered species through conservation programs and biodiversity action plans.

2.  An endangered species is a species of
organisms facing a very high risk of
extinction. The phrase is used vaguelly in
common parlance for any species fitting
this description, but its use by
conservation biologists typically refers to
those deigned Endangered in the IUCN
Red List, where it is the second most
severe conservation status for wild
populations.

3.  There Are Currently 3070 animals,
And 2655 plants classified as endangered worldwide,
Compared with 1998 levels of 1102 and 1197,
respectively.

4.  To prevent the extinction of species
need to know their environment and
learn to live with it unchanged, avoiding
sudden changes in the environment and
prevent the disappearance of some
species, living things need to adapt to
changes in their environment for long
periods of time, if the changes are aburt
and no adapt perish as a species.

5. Causes
Species are extinct or have reduce populations
for several reasons, but the main cause is:
Habitat destruction due to human
activities.
• As they envolve different species, most of wich
are adapted to specific habitat or environment
that best meets their needs for survival.
• Human activities as pollution, deforestation,
destruction of coral reefs, etc...

6. • Habitat fragmentation, isolation and division of
habitats into smaler areas, have led to speciers
of plants and animals kept in these “islands” of
habitat lose contact with others of their own
kind.
Sometimes fragmented habitats become so small
that they can maintain a sustainable
population.

7.  Consequences
Upon termination of a species is altered
throughtout an entire ecosystem, and this
results in a lack of balance in the proliferation
of other species still exist, whether plants,
animal or both, to be affected the ecosystem is
also affected being human and planet as such,
not only living things.

8.  The conservation status of a species is an indicator of
the likelihood of that endangered species
becoming extinct. Many factors are taken into account
when assessing the conservation status of a species,
including statistics such as the number remaining, the
overall increase or decrease in the population over time,
breeding success rates, known threats, and so on.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-
known worldwide conservation status listing and
ranking system.
 It has been estimated that over 40% of all living species
on Earth are at risk of going extinct. Internationally, 199
countries have signed an accord agreeing to
create Biodiversity Action Plans to protect endangered
and other threatened species. In the United States this
plan is usually called a species Recovery Plan.

9.  Endemic Species
• Endemic species constitute 40% of the flora of
the island. In this group we pine (Pinus
occidentalis), royal palm (Roystonea
hispaniolana), palm or coconut catey macaque
(Bactris plumeriana) and guano (Coccothrinax
montana).
 Native species
• The species of this group are corn pineapple,
guaiacum, ceiba, mahogany (national tree), the
guava, the guayiga, soursop and snuff.
