An endangered species refers to a population of animals that is gradually heading for extinction due to changing environmental conditions or human predation.
The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has included up to 40 percent of animal species in the endangered category. While many nations have resorted to laws that guarantee the protection of these endangered species from extinction, such as prohibiting hunting, restricting land development or even creating reserves, the danger of some animals disappearing grows day by day.
