Endemic species are facing a great threat of extinction.

The given statement is true.

Endemic species are at a higher risk of extinction compared to non-endemic species due to their limited geographic range. Endemic species are often highly specialized to the unique environmental conditions of their native habitats, making them more vulnerable to disturbances or changes to their environment.

Protecting these species in their natural habitat is crucial for their survival. Conservation efforts can include habitat protection, such as creating protected areas and enforcing regulations to prevent habitat destruction or degradation.
