Endangered.
Under the Endangered Species Act, "endangered" means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range — matching "near extinction." "Threatened" means likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future; "extinct" means no living individuals remain; "pioneer" is not an ESA category.
