Conservation Status: Endangered (EN)

Conservation Status ChartConservation Status: Endangered

An Endangered species is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. While not as close to the edge as Critically Endangered, their numbers are still dangerously low, and their habitats are often shrinking.

Think of it like a species is on the "red alert" level, but there's still a chance to turn things around. They have typically experienced a population reduction of at least 50-70% over the last decade or two, or their population is extremely small and fragmented.

Conservation efforts like habitat protection, anti-poaching measures, and breeding programs are vital for these species.

The Tiger is a classic example of an Endangered species, a symbol of the fight to save wildlife.
