Overview

Endangered species are taxa of plants, animals, and other organisms at significant risk of extinction, typically because their populations have declined to critically low numbers or their habitats have been degraded, fragmented, or lost. Threats are predominantly anthropogenic, including habitat conversion, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change, and conservation status is assessed using criteria based on population size, range, and trend. Protecting endangered species is central to maintaining biodiversity, ecological function, and the ecosystem services on which human societies depend. Research grounding this topic documents the status and ecology of vulnerable wildlife, including migration status, anthropogenic threats, and conservation directives for the White-eared kob in Ethiopia, and population structure, weight-length relationships, and condition of the Cameroon goliath frog in its natural habitat, providing the demographic baselines needed for management. Studies of charismatic and ecologically important species such as the lappet-faced vulture, and assessments of human pressures on aquatic and marine fauna, including the adverse effects of underwater noise on fishes and invertebrates, illustrate the diverse drivers of decline. Habitat- and pollution-related work, such as the environmental impact of industrial flow stations on surface waters, links ecosystem degradation to species vulnerability, while conservation of crop and plant diversity highlights threats to less-studied taxa. Endangered species research thus integrates field ecology, threat assessment, and conservation planning to prevent biodiversity loss.
