The article below is a seminar topic researched by Igbanibo, B. Isaac, a 400 level Animal and Environmental Biology student of the University of Port Harcourt majoring in Environmental Biology.
An endangered species is a population of organisms, which are at high risk of becoming extinct either due to loss of habitat, high death rate or changes in environmental and predation parameters. An organism is termed an endangered species if its population has become small such that free mating and reproduction becomes difficult. Environmental degradation, climate change and changes in prey-predation ratio are some of the factors driving many species to extinction today. Without adequate protection, a preservation or conservation measure, an endangered species finally goes into extinction, that is, permanent disappearance from the earth surface. Such species are never seen alive again in this world except in form of fossil (remains) only. In this report, in-situ and ex-situ types of conservation were examined as well as some measures that can be employed in saving some endangered fauna in Nigeria from extinction. This report also recommends adequate documentation and publicity of the species for conservation and preservation.

ABSTRACT
An endangered species is a population of organisms, which are at high risk of becoming extinct either due to loss of habitat, high death rate or changes in environmental and predation parameters. An organism is termed an endangered species if its population has become small such that free mating and reproduction becomes difficult. Environmental degradation, climate change and changes in prey-predation ratio are some of the factors driving many species to extinction today. Without adequate protection, a preservation or conservation measure, an endangered species finally goes into extinction, that is, permanent disappearance from the earth surface. Such species are never seen alive again in this world except in form of fossil (remains) only. In this report, in-situ and ex-situ types of conservation were examined as well as some measures that can be employed in saving some endangered fauna in Nigeria from extinction. This report also recommends adequate documentation and publicity of the species for conservation and preservation.
