What is the difference between endangered, threatened, and extinct species? How would you balance the concerns of these species while focusing on cost first? What are some of the areas that would
need to be prioritized?
Trying to balance human needs and wants with biological considerations requires resource management looking at land management, species preservation, and resource use. What can individuals and
resource managers do to meet the demands of multiple use?

Threated species are those that are likely to become endangered in the near future. Endangered species are those that are in danger of becoming extinct. An extinct species is a species this no longer an existence – there are no more living members. The goal is to prevent threatened and endangered species form becoming extinct so that the equilibrium of the environment is not interrupted. Unfortunately, not all species can be saved despite all the attempts, it would be crucial to balance concerns on the likelihood of the species being saved compared to how many individuals remain while taking its role in the environment into consideration. Areas that would need to be prioritized rely on species that have top roles in making the environment function properly. For examples, bees while certain types of bees have been considered endangered bees as a whole have not. While bees are crucial to the spreading of pollen and should be considered for protection the majority of bees are continuing to do the job. If the threat of become endangered is at the hand of mankind it should be stop like when elephants were being hunted for ivory and ended up on the endangered species list.
