Ohroených

Ohrozených is a term that translates from Czech and Slovak to English as "endangered." It is most commonly used in the context of conservation and environmental protection to describe species of plants and animals that are at high risk of extinction. The designation of a species as endangered typically follows a rigorous assessment of its population size, rate of decline, habitat loss, and other threats. Organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) maintain lists of endangered species, with the IUCN Red List being the most comprehensive global inventory.

Species are classified into various categories of threat, with "endangered" representing a critical level of risk. Animals and plants that are endangered face severe population reductions, often due to human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, poaching, and the introduction of invasive species. Conservation efforts for endangered species often involve habitat restoration, captive breeding programs, anti-poaching initiatives, and legal protections. The successful recovery of an endangered species can signify a positive outcome for biodiversity and ecological health. The term "ohrozených" therefore serves as a crucial identifier for species requiring urgent attention and protective measures to ensure their survival.
