In Egypt, there are several endangered species; these are wild animals and plants whose populations are decreasing in number due to various factors. Animals including birds are mainly threatened by habitat destruction and hunting. Habitat destruction also affects plants which further suffer from overgrazing and over harvesting. The following list has been put together by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and includes the plant and animal species which are considered to be in danger of extinction, some of which have already disappeared from the country. It is referred to as the Red Data list of Egypt.
