No. albino animals are a genetic fluke of a certain species. If the species of animal are endangered, then the albino is as well, but being albino makes no difference to the status of the species.

How are albino animals made?

Albino animals are born due to a rare recessive genetic mutation that prevents any pigments in the skin from developing, making the animal appear pink or white with red eyes. Two normal looking animals can produce albino offspring if they both carry one normal gene which allows pigment development and one albino gene. If they breed together and both pass on the albino gene to the offspring, it will appear albino.

Albinism comes from recessive alleles, so 100% of the children will be albino if both parents are. On the rare event of a germline mutation in this allele in the parents' gametes, there may be a non albino child. Some animals are now entirely albino, google "blind cave tetra".
