2024 Endangered Animal List. Vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered species are considered to be threatened with extinction. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive.
Of these, more than 44,000 species of plants, animals, and others fall into the threatened categories (cr, en, and vu). Wwf is committed to saving endangered species.
