Habitat loss and degradation are the primary anthropogenic factors contributing to the extinction of species. The underlying cause lies in human overpopulation. This groundbreaking volume offers a comprehensive examination of all threatened and recently extinct mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes, considering their geographical locations and habitats. The approach adopts a systematic approach, exploring both terrestrial and marine biogeographic realms, with a particular focus on geographic features such as mountains, islands, and coral reefs. By undertaking this comprehensive analysis, the book reveals valuable patterns for biodiversity conservation, provides a broader perspective, and serves as a benchmark for future developments and standardization in the study of threatened species.
