The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of species according to their conservation priority based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, we need to analyze each category and their level of threat. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the Categories - **Critically Endangered**: Species facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Their population is critically low (often below 15% of their original numbers). - **Endangered**: Species that are at a high risk of extinction but not as critically low as critically endangered species. Their population is also low (often below 25%). - **Vulnerable**: Species that are at risk but have a larger population than endangered species. Their numbers are declining but not critically low (often below 50%). - **Near Threatened**: Species that are close to qualifying for a threatened category in the near future. They are not currently endangered but are at risk. - **Least Concern**: Species that are widespread and abundant. They are not currently at risk of extinction. ### Step 2: Establish Conservation Priority Based on the understanding of these categories, we can establish their conservation priority from highest to lowest risk: 1. **Critically Endangered** (highest priority) 2. **Endangered** 3. **Vulnerable** 4. **Near Threatened** 5. **Least Concern** (lowest priority) ### Step 3: Select the Correct Order From the analysis, the correct order of species according to their conservation priority is: 1. Critically Endangered 2. Endangered 3. Vulnerable 4. Near Threatened 5. Least Concern ### Final Answer The correct order of the species according to their conservation priority is: **(iii) Critically Endangered > (i) Endangered > (ii) Vulnerable > (v) Near Threatened > (iv) Least Concern** ---

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below. Earth in home to more than 16,000 species of plants, animals, fungi, and algae that are currently listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened species. In the U.S. alone, nearly 700 species of animals and 900 species of plants are considered threatened or endangered. Given that human-made threats-such as habitat fragmentation, overhunting, overfishing, global warming, invasive species and pollution-are the major drivers of modern extinctions and population declines, the preservation and recovery of endangered species depend on human awareness and intervention. Endangered Species Day is observed each year on the third Friday of May as a way to both raise awareness of the continued underline("plight") of endangered species and celebrate those that have recovered becuase of conservation efforts. The U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 has been credited with the recovery and protection of several prominent American species, including the bald eagle, the American alligator, and the gray wolf. Globally, many governments, non-governmental organizations, and grassroots efforts have made great strides to protect our natural heritage, though the fight to preserve biodiversity is ever ongoing. Which of the following species was recovered by the help of The U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 ?
