According to Wikipedia, "a rare species is a group of organisms that are very uncommon, scarce, or infrequently encountered. Rarity rests on a specific species being represented by a small number of organisms worldwide, usually fewer than 10,000."
"A species may be endangered or vulnerable, but not considered rare if it has a large, dispersed population. Rare species are generally considered threatened because a small population size is more likely to not recover from ecological disasters."
