4. INTRODUCTION
An Endangered Species is one which has
been categorised by the International union for conservation of
nature [IUCN] as likely to become extinct. Conservation
biologists use the IUCN Red List, where “Endangered“ is the
second most severe conservation status for wild populations,
following critically Endangered. In this world there has 3079
animals and 2655 plants are Endangered compared with 1998
levels of 1102 and 1197, respectivelly.Many nations have laws
that protect conservation reliant species.

5. DATA COLLECTED
An endangered species considered to be in immediate
danger of extinction, and survival's unlikely if the casual
factors are continued.
An endangered species is a native species that faces a
significant risk of extinction in the near future throughout
all or a significant portion of its range.
Such a species may be declining in number due to threats
such as habit destruction, climate change, or pressure from
invasive species.

6. The term endangered species describes a species that faces a
risk of extinction but does not necessarily indicate that the
species is protected under any law.
The endangered species act of1973[Act],recognizing that
endangered and threatened species of wild life and plants "are
of esthetic,ecological,educational, historical, recreational, an
scientific value to the nation and its people.”

7. The endangered species which is critically
endangered they are,
 Lion Tailed Macaque
 Giant panda
Tiger
 Arogyapacha
 Strobilanthes
 Nilgiri Thar
 Mangrove trees etc…
