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.

Why have wildlife experts only estimated the number of endangered species in the world?
Wildlife experts have only estimated the number of endangered species due to the vastness and complexity of global biodiversity, which makes comprehensive monitoring and assessment challenging. Many species remain undiscovered or poorly studied, particularly in remote or inaccessible habitats. Additionally, the dynamic nature of ecosystems and the varying criteria for what constitutes "endangered" further complicate precise counts. Consequently, estimates are based on available data, sampling, and modeling rather than complete surveys.
