Citizens of all ages come together to celebrate Endangered Species Day every year. This special day is observed to raise awareness about endangered species and the importance of protecting them. Endangered Species Day serves as a platform to give a voice to the continuously exploited plants and animals.
What is the meaning of endangered species?
Endangered species are species that face the risk of extinction due to a rapid population decline or loss of critical habitat. Plants or animals that are at risk of becoming extinct can be classified as endangered species.
