With so few pairs to produce offspring, the species was in danger of extinction.

If the decrease is because of a high death rate or low birth rate, the population may be at risk of extinction, like in the case of the Bald Eagle.

Next time, we’ll be learning about how plants relate to each other in their communities, and how ecologists and plant lovers are saving plant species from extinction.
