What is an Endangered Species?
What is an endangered species?
• A species that is at risk of extinction
• A species with a small or declining population, or a very small range.
What is being done?
• Captive breeding programmes
• Reintroductions to the wild
A Success Story!!
This is the Antiguan racer.
It was once thought to be the most endangered snake in the world.
Thanks to captive breeding, re-introductions and the removal of rats, numbers are now increasing again.
