Solution
IUCN:
IUCN stands for International Union for Conservation of Nature.
It releases a red list, which contains the name of the endangered species in an area where their populations have declined severely.
Researchers employ this list of species as a reference to determine the level of threat.
Endangered species –
These are species that are on the verge of becoming extinct.
If the unfavorable conditions that have led to a population drop continue to function, such species' survival will be problematic.
Habitat loss, invasive species, and poaching are all potential threats to endangered species.
Examples – the blue whale, Indian rhino
