Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?

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


What are the differences between extinct endangered and threatened?

Threatened animals are ones that are legally listed as susceptible to becoming endangered - the animals are becoming more rare because of attributable factors determined by scientific studies. Species of concern is a species that may sometime in the future become threatened but that requires more study. More information about this is: They are species, populations and ecological communities that are considered by the NSW Scientific Committee to be at risk of extinction in the immediate to medium-term future in NSW. Together this information is described as 'threatened'.

What do you call ecosystems where species are endangered?

Endangered ecosystems are referred to as threatened ecosystems. This can happen when the balance between the different species within an ecosystem is disrupted, leading to a decline in the population of certain species. This imbalance can be caused by factors such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation.
