There are currently 3079 animals and 2655 plants that are listed as endangered.
According to the World Wildlife Federation, it is impossible to give a perfectly accurate answer, because we don't "know what is out there." Basically, we are discovering new plants and animals all the time. We have no idea how many are going extinct before we even know that they exist.
They say that there about 1 million known species on the earth. They are going extinct at a rate of 0.01% a year. That number seems pretty small, but when you consider that is 0.01% of a million, it becomes more concerning. That means we are losing about 10,000 species every single year. This is between 27 to 28 every single day. More than one every hour.
