animals that may become endangered in the near future if they are overhunted or if the conditions in their natural habitats change (water pollution) or if many of their habitats are destroyed (The Northern Pine Snake is a threatened animal.)
A species likely to become endangered, if we do not take steps to protect it soon.
or endangered species: threatened or endangered species as identified by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. The taxa on the red list are either Extirpated, Endangered or Threatened, or are being considered for such status. Any indigenous taxon (species or sub-species) threatened with imminent extinction or extirpation throughout all or a significant portion of its range in British Columbia is Endangered. Threatened taxa are those indigenous species or sub-species that are likely to become endangered in British Columbia if factors are nor reversed.
adj] A species of organism that has exhibited a considerable decrease in numbers or range, and is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future if certain conditions are not met.
animals or plants that are in danger of extinction in a part of their range.
(of flora or fauna) likely in the near future to become endangered; "the spotted owl is a threatened species, not yet an endangered one"
Populations or species likely to become endangered in the near future.
If a species is " threatened," there is a chance it will become endangered. If a species is "endangered", it's in danger of becoming extinct. Threatened and endangered species need people to take action to prevent them from becoming extinct.
Referring to a species (plant or animal) that could become endangered in the foreseeable future.

Wisconsin's designation of threatened species is "any species of wild animal or wild plant which appears likely within the foreseeable future on the basis of scientific evidence to become endangered" (Wisconsin Statutes Sec. 29.604 2)). Federal designation of threatened species is "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Federal Code 16USCSS1532(20)).
