Feels like this should be about 5%. Vulnerable species typically are 10% in the next 100 years, but the giant panda has more individuals and much more cultural significance than a normal vulnerable species.

Can you please define your use of the term, “extinct.”

@suzumebatchi According to Wikipedia, Extinction is the termination of a species by the death of its last member. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction

@ExtinctionRisk

Is that the definition you are using for this market?

Do cryogenically preserved fertilized embryos count as individuals? …asking for a friend in Alabama. 😏

@suzumebatchi Difficult question. I don't know.
