A species facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild, classified as EN on the IUCN Red List.
Detailed Explanation
Endangered status triggers legal protection under national and international law, including the US Endangered Species Act and CITES. The primary causes of endangered status are habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, and climate change — often acting together. Recovery requires intensive management: the whooping crane was reduced to 21 birds in 1941; dedicated conservation has rebuilt the population to over 800.
