A DEFRA study from 2006 suggested that 100 species became extinct in the UK during the 20th century: about 100 times the background extinction rate. [3] This has had a major impact on indigenous animal populations. Song birds in particular are becoming scarcer, and habitat loss has affected larger mammalian species.
The World's 100 most threatened species [1] is a compilation of the most threatened animals, plants, and fungi in the world. It was the result of a collaboration between over 8,000 scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC), along with the Zoological Society of London .

This may be due to the fact that zoos can provide refuge against diseases, competition with others of the same species and predators if animals in there are treated well. Most notably, animals with shorter lifespans and faster growth rates benefit more from zoos than animals with higher longevities and slow growth rates. [2]
More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [7] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [8] [9] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [10] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.

The maximum life span of most species is documented in the AnAge repository (The Animal Ageing and Longevity Database). [ 22 ] Maximum life span is usually longer for species that are larger, at least among endotherms, [ 23 ] or have effective defenses against predation, such as bat or bird flight, [ 24 ] arboreality, [ 25 ] chemical defenses ...
