ohrozených

Ohrožených is a Czech word that translates to "endangered" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of conservation biology and refers to species of plants and animals that are at a high risk of extinction in the wild. The term is part of a broader classification system used by organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to assess the conservation status of species.

A species is typically classified as ohrožených if its population has declined significantly or is projected to decline, or if its habitat has been severely reduced. The specific criteria for listing a species as ohrožených can vary slightly depending on the organization and the region, but generally involve factors such as population size, rate of decline, geographic range, and the severity of threats.

The designation of a species as ohrožených triggers conservation efforts aimed at protecting the species and its habitat. These efforts can include habitat restoration, captive breeding programs, anti-poaching initiatives, and legislative protections. The goal is to prevent the species from moving to a more critical category of endangerment, such as critically endangered, and ultimately to aid in its recovery and survival. The concept of ohrožených highlights the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the impact of human activities on biodiversity.
