If the reason for its endangerment is hunting, stop hunting. If it is habitat destruction, preserve its habitat. A catch-all is to breed it in captivity and then release them into the wild at a later point.

Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?

Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct


What is being done to help extint wolves?

I hear scientists are trying to recover DNA from extinct animals (such as a species of mammoth) to clone them back from extinction. I imagine that could be done with extinct wolves (e.g. dire wolves), too, although I'm not sure how far along they are with the science. Apart from that, there's no helping an extinct animal since they are, after all, extinct.
