Endangered species are, by definition, few in number. Therefore their inpact on the environment is minimal. Their impact on society differs as to what the species is and how much people within the society care about them.

How does an extinct animal become endangered?
This is a listing of the causes of endangerment for animals.There are many different causes of endangerment. Some are species specific, others are general. These are some of the general factors that apply pressure to populations.1.) Unregulated, or unrestricted commercial hunting or fishing has driven species to extinction.2.) Poaching (trapping, hunting, and capturing) any protected species for the purposes of profit.3.) The Black Market, and "Traditional Chinese Medicine" selling items such as; animal body parts, organs, pelts, tusks, horns, also trophy purchases, and this drives the values of the endangered species.4.) Loss of natural habitat through, natural disasters, human encroachment, river management, or coastal growth, land management and land use.5.) Careless waste disposal, and dumping, species suffer long term exposure, become entangled in the trash, eat it mistaking it for food, and die.6.) Pollutants are spilled, leaked or dumped, into environments, and exposure to the toxins and other deadly chemicals, can kill species, with long term effects in the food chain, and even destroy whole ecosystem and habitats.7.) Nonnative or exotic species, can destroy a balanced ecosystem of native species.8.) Mutated diseases, and viruses become resistant to common treatment, inter-species transference, including native, nonnative species, and human exposure.9.) "Climate Change" Recently studied by IUCN Red List as "climate change susceptibility", and US Fish and Wild Life Services for the Endangered Species List.10.) "Specialized" Species by their very nature, are at a higher risk of endangerment, than the more widely adaptable species.Any number of these factors combined or working alone, can cause the growth rate of a species to decrease to such a level that they are considered to be endangered.Animals are becoming extinct every single day and humans are behind it all.Humans hunt animals for there fur or tusks and about 1 species disappears in 1 year. Poachers come with their guns and kill the animal they were hunting, grab what they want, and leave the rest of the body there because they only came for one thing. That one thing was very valuable and the poachers would leave without looking back.Another way animals become extinct is that their habitat was destroyed.Either by being hunted by humans, or being hunted by other animals. That is why it is illeagal to kill certain animals. ex: A lion isn't endangered because no one ( or nothing will hunt it.)
Why are invasive species dangerous?
They can affect the chemical makeup of the water, availability of resources, and even alter the food web. Invasive species impact other species more directly through competition for resources. Because invasive species evolved with other competitors and native species evolved in the absence of invasive species they lack the ability to compete with invasive species. They are costly to society in many ways through both, direct management, and decreased production. The annual estimated cost in the United States of invasive species control is about 120 billion dollars per year. It is estimated that the global cost of invasive species management is equal to five percent of the global economy.

Which species of wildlife are critically endangered?
A critically endangered species is a species that is in immediate risk of extinction. Currently there are 1821 plants and 2129 animals in this endangered category. The list of wildlife that is critically endangered is so extensive that it would take hours to list every species. The IUCN website lists all endangered species and is a great tool for understanding the threat of extinction and the impact it will have on our world.
