Explanation: The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has released the Red List of Threatened Species, which details the concerning status of biodiversity globally. Notably, the list identifies 784 species that have gone extinct over the past 500 years, comprising 338 vertebrates, 359 invertebrates, and 87 plant species. Among the recent extinctions are several notable examples:

- The Dodo from Mauritius, a flightless bird that became emblematic of conservation efforts.

- The Quagga, a subspecies of the plains zebra native to Africa, is known for its unique appearance.

- The Steller’s Sea Cow, an aquatic mammal from Russia that was hunted to extinction in the 18th century.

- The Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, a marsupial native to Australia that was declared extinct in the 20th century.

These extinctions highlight the critical need for conservation efforts to protect remaining species and their habitats.
