The Endangered Species Test
Endangered
A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Endangered, and it is therefore considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
Your knowledge of endangered species won't go extinct tomorrow, but it's in serious trouble. You could maybe bluff your way through a conservation conference with a bit of looking things up, but without immediate measures you could slide into extinction.
