Veszélyeztettek

Veszélyeztettek is a Hungarian term that translates to "endangered" or "at risk" in English. It is commonly used in the context of conservation biology to describe species of plants and animals whose survival is threatened. The term encompasses a range of conservation statuses, indicating varying degrees of threat.

When a species is classified as veszélyeztetett, it signifies that it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild. This designation is typically based on scientific assessments of population size, population trends, geographic distribution, and the severity of threats it faces. These threats can include habitat loss and degradation, overexploitation, pollution, climate change, and the introduction of invasive species.

Conservation efforts in Hungary and internationally often focus on species categorized as veszélyeztetett. These efforts can involve habitat protection and restoration, captive breeding programs, anti-poaching initiatives, and public awareness campaigns. The ultimate goal is to reduce the risk of extinction and ensure the long-term survival of these vulnerable populations. The term highlights the urgency and importance of conservation action for species facing significant threats.
