Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of becoming extinct due to factors such as habitat loss, climate change, poaching, and pollution. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorizes species as endangered when their population numbers have declined significantly and they face a high risk of extinction in the wild. Conservation efforts are implemented to protect and restore these species and their habitats to prevent their extinction.

Species that are declining in numbers so fast they may soon become extinct are called?

There are many different measurements for species status used to list a species by different groups, and lists, but this is the general meaning of "endangered species" status listing in many groupings. Because the definition has, "soon become extinct" it could also refer to "critically endangered species" as well. This doesn't apply to all the different groups, or lists, and most have their own precise individual definitions, which they use to measure a species population. When using an endangered species report or list, it's best to read through their listing and profile information so you understand the verbiage they use and what it implies for the species.
