The major difference between a threatened and endangered species lies in the level of risk they face for extinction.

  1. Threatened species: Species that are likely to become endangered in the near future if factors affecting their survival do not improve.
  2. Endangered species: Species that are at significant risk of extinction if conservation efforts are not implemented to protect them
