Endangered Species "Levels "

     There are not only endangered species in the world, everything starts from the bottom. On the first signs of danger, categories start to form. The categories are least concern, near threatened, conservation dependent, lower risk, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered, extinct in the wild and extinct (www.animalinfo.org).

     Extinct. Is when  there is reasonable doubt that the last individual has died. A species is Extinct in the Wild when it is known only to survive in cultivation. A species is presumed extinct in the wild when exhaustive surveys in known  from expected habitat. (www.animalinfo.org).


   Critically Endangered when it is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. A species is Endangered when it is not Critically Endangered but is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. A species is Vulnerable when it is not Critically Endangered or Endangered but is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild future. Lower Risk when it has been evaluated and does not satisfy the criteria for any of the categories Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable(www.animalinfo.org).


We may observe the differences in categories, and by that we may think about the danger of this topic. The categories show that we need to make conscience about the species. Animals in lower risk need to be observed and taken care of before it gets even worse.
