Wildlife have proven valuable to our understanding of the potential effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on human health by contributing considerably to our understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of EDC exposure. But the threats EDCs present to populations of wildlife species themselves are significant, particularly for endangered species whose existence is vulnerable to any reproductive perturbation. However, few studies address the threats EDCs pose to endangered species owing to challenges associated with their study. Here, we highlight those barriers and review the available literature concerning EDC effects on endangered species. Drawing from other investigations into nonthreatened wildlife species, we highlight opportunities for new approaches to advance our understanding and potentially mitigate the effects of EDCs on endangered species to enhance their fertility.

破坏内分泌的化学物质对野生生物的生殖影响：对濒危物种的保护意义。

通过对理解EDC暴露的机理和后果做出巨大贡献，野生生物被证明对我们了解内分泌干扰化学物质（EDC）对人类健康的潜在影响具有重要价值。但是，EDC对野生动植物物种本身构成的威胁是巨大的，特别是对于那些濒临灭绝的物种，其生存很容易受到任何生殖干扰。但是，很少有研究能够解决EDC由于其研究带来的挑战而对濒危物种构成的威胁。在这里，我们重点介绍了这些障碍，并回顾了有关EDC对濒危物种的影响的现有文献。通过对非威胁野生物种的其他调查，
