Extinct in the Wild

"Extinct in the Wild" refers to species that no longer exist in their natural habitats but still survive in captivity or controlled environments, such as zoos or botanical gardens. This status indicates that the species has lost its ability to thrive in the wild due to factors like habitat loss, hunting, or climate change. Conservation efforts may aim to breed these species in captivity and potentially reintroduce them into their natural environments, but their survival depends on restoring their wild ecosystems and addressing the threats they face.
