Information
According to the IUCN Red List criteria there are currently 16,928 species threatened with extinction, including both endangered animals and plants. There are still millions of species that need to be assessed to know their status, therefore the number of threatened species is definitely much higher than the current estimate. The current rate of extinction is hundreds of thousands times higher than the background rate, with many endangered species disappearing before they have even been discovered.
