Endemic species are at high risk of extinction primarily due to their limited geographic range, meaning they are found in specific locations and are not adaptable to habitat changes or loss. They often have specialized habitat requirements and low population numbers, making them vulnerable to environmental changes, invasive species, and human activities. Additionally, their restricted distribution means that any local threat, such as climate change or habitat destruction, can have a devastating impact on their survival.

When is as species regarded as endangered?
A species is considered endangered, if it is considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
What are the various levels of endangered or conservation status?
The "Levels of Risk" of species is: 1.Extirpated-No longer found in a habitat but found elsewhere (High Risk) 2.Endangered-Species facing extirpation or extinction (Moderate Risk) 3. Threatened-Species in danger of becoming endangered (Low Risk)
Are threatened species are at the highest risk of extinction?

What is an enndangered species?
a species whose numbers are so small that the species is at risk of extinction
What does endgered mean?
A species whose numbers are so small that the species is at a risk of extinction.
What is biological hot spot?
A biological hotspot is an area with high levels of biodiversity and a large number of endemic species that are at risk of extinction. These areas are important for conservation efforts because they contain unique and irreplaceable ecosystems that need protection. Examples include the Amazon rainforest and the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific.
Endangered Species?
A species at risk of extinction due to a drastic decline in population or habitat destruction.
When do you call a species endangered versus threatened?
A species is considered endangered when it is at a very high risk of extinction in the near future. A species is considered threatened when it is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future if threats continue.
Is a species that has few individuals at greater risk of extinction than a species that has a large population size?
Yes , species with very small populations are at the verge of extinction as compared to large population .
Does endemics mean endangered?
No endemic does not mean endangered. Endemic means an animal that is only found in one country or sometimes one small area of the world.Many endemic species are also endangered. This is because a habitat or area can only support a certain number of species so the population of an endemic animal is usually small. Also an endemic species relies solely on that habitat or area and if that habitat or area is destroyed or damaged that animal is in serious trouble.Lastly many endemic bird species that inhabit small islands are endangered due to rat introduction. The rats on the small islands need food and the birds are not usually adapted to avoid predation so they make easy targets for rats. Also the rats easily breed and more rats means more predation.
What does critically endangerd mean?
A critically endangered species is a species that has an extremely high risk of extinction in the immeadiate future. Examples are the California Conder, Island fox, Chinese river dolphin, and Siberian tiger.
What is the difference between endemic and an exotic plant?
Endemic species are indigenous, that is they are native to the environment where they are found. Exotic species are those that have been introduced. For instance, the nutria are endemic to regions of South America, but exotic to the Florida Everglades where they were introduced after being set free by fur farmers who found they could not make a living raising them.
