Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A threatened species is a species that is likely to become an endangered species in the near future if conservation measures are not taken. It is one step below an endangered species, which is at high risk of extinction. A species of concern is a more general term that includes both threatened and endangered species, as well as species that are not yet threatened but may be in the future. An invasive species is not at risk of extinction but instead has become too successful in a new habitat, often at the expense of native species. An endemic species is a species that is native to a specific geographic area and is not found anywhere else. Being endemic does not necessarily make a species at risk of extinction.
