Detailed explanation-1: -Biologists think 50% of species will be facing extinction by the end of the century. One in five species on Earth now faces extinction, and that will rise to 50% by the end of the century unless urgent action is taken.

Detailed explanation-2: -By some estimates, as much as 30 percent of the world’s animals and plants could be on a path to extinction within 100 years.

Detailed explanation-3: -Multiple scientific studies have come forward and suggested that by the end of 2100, almost half of all the world’s species will disappear from planet Earth, creating one of the greatest ecological destruction known to mankind.

Detailed explanation-4: -One-third of all plant and animal species could be extinct in 50 years, study warns.
