I know that this is from 1 year ago, but I found this very interesting and wanted to share it here.

"As we mark the 15th anniversary of Endangered Species Day and celebrate the biodiversity around us, let’s take a look at some of the most threatened species in each state and territory of the United States.

State fish and wildlife agencies have identified more than 12,000 species in need of proactive conservation efforts in the United States, including the more than 1,600 U.S. species currently listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. And 90 percent of the global species tracked by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List are in decline—illustrating that species across the globe are in trouble."
