Extinction occurs when a species permanently disappears from the Earth. This can happen due to various factors, including habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, climate change, and natural disasters.
Extinction disrupts ecosystems, impacting biodiversity and potentially leading to cascading effects on other species. Human activities, such as deforestation and hunting, have accelerated extinction rates in recent times.
Conservation efforts aim to prevent extinction by protecting habitats, implementing regulations, breeding endangered species, and raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity conservation.
