Detailed explanation-1: -Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point.

Detailed explanation-2: -Extinct species is a particular animal or plant species that can no longer be available as a wild, the species has died out. 3. Endemic species are those species of plants and animals which are found exclusively in a particular area. 4.

Detailed explanation-3: -When we remove a species that was formerly listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), we “delist” that species. We remove species from the lists of endangered and threatened species for three reasons: The species has recovered to the point that it no longer needs the ESA’s protection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Extinction occurs when species are diminished because of environmental forces (habitat fragmentation, global change, natural disaster, overexploitation of species for human use) or because of evolutionary changes in their members (genetic inbreeding, poor reproduction, decline in population numbers).
