Soon after, they were listed as critically endangered on the IUCN red list and endangered on the U.S Endangered Species Act. Regrettably, not all species that end up on the IUCN red list or endangered species list have trajectories that later hold such hope.. (Image by USFWS; CC-BY 2.0))

By determining the life span of individuals in a population and how many offspring they produce human demographers and ecologists can summarize key aspects of a population, such as average life span, generation time, and growth rate. This allows comparisons between different populations and species.

The large proportion of the landscape classified as matrix may have profound influences on the ecological processes in the landscape; for example, consider the flow of pesticides from the farmed matrix to the wetland patches in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\).

Recent extinctions are recorded in written history and are the basis for one method of estimating contemporary extinction rates. The other method uses measures of habitat loss and species-area relationships. Estimates of contemporary extinction rates vary but are as high as 500 times the background rate, as determined from the fossil record, and are predicted to rise.
