An endangered species is any species that is at risk of extinction due to a sudden decline in its population. An animal officially becomes endangered once its population experiences a 50-70% decline in the span of 10 years or when only 2500 adult individuals remain.
Habitat loss is the primary cause of higher extinction rates. Other causes include habitat changes, over-exploitation of wildlife for commercial purposes, the introduction of harmful nonnative species,

How Have Humans Helped Endangered Species?
Zoos and conservational programs raise funds to breed and reintroduce animals back into the wild. Groups advocate to ban or restrict practices that harm wildlife.
