They are not a federally endangered species. They could be on a certain states endangered list.
Which species? Well, anyway, the reason any species is endangered is because its numbers were made so low, through humans hunting or destroying their habitat, that they are close to being made extinct.
Snowy owls are protected species, as are all Birds of Prey. However, the snowy owl is not an endangered species.
more are being taken into captivity to mate to keep the population rising

There are laws that prohibit hunting and killing endangered animals. There are also laws against disturbing habitats of endangered animals, and these laws are helping to protect endangered moose species. The moose is not an endangered species. Ranging over a good part of two continents, it is listed as "Least Concern." There is only one moose species, with several races.
Reindeer aren't endangered, so nothing is being done to protect them.
More are being taken captive to reproduce and keep them safe from hunters looking to kill them for their skin.
Any hummingbird species that is threatened has been put on the endangered species list. There are organizations that band hummingbirds to track them so that they can protect their habitat.
Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
One of the people who help endangered species are worldwildlifefund.org! They have all sorts of stuff to help endangered species like red pandas!
One solution to save the endangered gorillas is to have more people paroling their habitat to stop poachers. Support organizations that donate to saving gorillas or make a donation to an organization directly.
