The conservation status of a species is an indicator of the likelihood of that endangered species not living. Many factors are taken into account when assessing the conservation status of a species; not simply the number remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, known threats, and so on.
An endangered species is a population of an organism which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in number, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.
Below are pictures of some of the more well known critically endangered species of the planet. Only a few of the many species at risk of extinction actually make it to these sorts of lists and obtain legal protection. Many more species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without gaining public notice.
