Question

A threatened species category included
A. Only endangered species
B. Vulnerable species
C. Endangered and rare species
D. Critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable species

Answer 1

Hint: Critically endangered is when a species is facing extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. Endangered species are one that is getting close to extinction if we do not help. Vulnerable species is one which has been sorted by the international union for conservation of nature as likely to become endangered unless the circumstances threaten its survival.

Complete answer:
The species, which are extinct in future, come under intimidate species. In the IUCN list, the term threatened is classified into three major groups: critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable species.

Reason for species endangering:
1. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation
2. Hunting and poaching
3. Invasive species
4. Climate change
5. Global warming

Reason for saving endangered animals:
- They are an important source for drugs and food.
- Plants provide what man needs to create new crops.
- A healthy environment for animals makes a healthy environment for humans.

How can we help?
- Choose sustainable products and recycle.
- Cleanup your act and get involved.
- Anti-poaching measures.

Thus, Option (D) is correct.

Note: IUCN also listed as extinct, extinct in the wild, near threatened, least concern, data deficient. Seven important Endangered species are tiger, Asiatic lion, snow leopard, nilgiri tahr, Kashmir red stag, blackbuck, and one horned rhinoceros. Habitat is the nature home or environment of an animal, plant or other organisms.
