Endangered SpeciesEndangered species are organisms that are in great risk of becoming extinct. They may be threatened by a variety of challenges that people have caused such as habitat loss, pollution, introduction of invasive species, poaching and the pet trade. These threats limit the resources available, inhibit these species from meeting their basic needs, and discourages their success. All of us have the opportunity to protect endangered species through our choices, our voices, and our collective actions.
