While our planet is blessed with such diversity of unique creatures, humans have intervened with the existence of many species andbrought them at risk of extinction. Our kids will most likely not have the chance to see many of the endangered species of today’s world, they will only see pho...
Critically endangered definition: (of a threatened species) having the highest risk of extinction, as categorized by the IUCN Red List: The list of critically endangered frog species is alarmingly long.Abbreviation. See examples of CRITICALLY ENDANGERED
Active conservation has often been successful in reversing or arresting population declines of endangered species. However, examples of Critically Endangered species recovering in the absence of human intervention are extremely rare. We censused the Raso lark, a single-island endemic of the Cape Verdes...

The restoration of critically endangered grassland on roadsides in the Victorian Volcanic Plain undertaken by VicRoads, the Victorian State Government agency, is discussed. The key goals that can be achieved through future management of the sites following the completion of the restoration work are hig...
Failure to improve the conservation status of endangered species is often related to inadequate allocation of conservation resources to highest priority issues. Eastern Pacific (EP) leatherbacks are perhaps the most endangered sea turtle population in the world, and continue on a path to regional exti...
These differences in the extent and distribution of in situ and ex situ genetic variation could be indicative of gene variants retained in the captive population that are now extirpated in the wild, as has been found in other critically endangered species (Henry et al., 2009). Alternatively, ...
predictors (current, 2050, 2070, and 2090 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP2-4.5) and non-bioclimatic variables (soil, habitat heterogeneity index, land use, slope, and aspect) on the habitat suitability and niche dimensions of the critically endangered plant species Commiphora wightii in ...
that fallback foods are more valuable than they are. This can have knock-on effects on conservation, including misestimation of carrying capacity and the placement of reserves in marginal habitats, which may undermine our ability to effectively protect and restore populations of endangered species. ...
All gibbon species (Primates: Hylobatidae) are facing high extinction risk due to habitat loss and hunting. The Hainan gibbon Nomascus hainanus is the world’s most critically endangered primate, and one of the priority conservation actions identified is
