Answer:

A rare species is a group of organisms that are very uncommon, scarce, or infrequently encountered.

Explanation:

Endemic species are plants and animals that exist only in one geographic region. Species can be endemic to large or small areas of the earth: some are endemic to a particular continent, some to part of a continent, and others to a single island

Answer:      species is considered to be “rare” if it exhibits any one of the following attributes: (1) naturally occurs in a

narrow geographical area, (2) occupies only one or a few specialised habitats, (3) forms only small population(s) in its

range. An “endemic” species, however, grows naturally in a single geographical area, the size of which could be either

narrow or relatively large. Not all endemic species are rare, just as not all rare species must necessarily be endemic.

Many rare and/or endemic species exhibit one or more of the following attributes which make them especially prone to

extinction: (1) narrow (and single) geographical range, (2) only one or a few populations, (3) small population size and

little genetic variability, (4) over-exploitation by people, (5) declining population sizes, (6) low reproductive potential,

(7) the need for specialised ecological niches, (8) growth that requires stable and nearly constant environments. When

habitats of a rare and/or endemic species are damaged and/or fragmented by various human activities, the distribution

ranges and population sizes of the species will be reduced, leaving them vulnerable to extinction at a much higher rate

than other comparable species. Species that experience any of the above attributes must be given priority and monitored

and managed carefully in an eff ort to promote genetic conservation.
