The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event, [a] also known as the K–T extinction, [b] was the mass extinction of three-quarters of the plant and animal species on Earth [2] [3] approximately 66 million years ago. The event caused the extinction of all known non-avian dinosaurs.
Pandas tend to avoid their species for most of the year, breeding season being the brief time of major interaction. [89] Chemical signaling allows for avoidance and competition . [ 86 ] [ 87 ] Pandas whose habitats are in similar locations will collectively leave scent marks in a unique location which is termed "scent stations". [ 89 ]
The largest extinction was the Kellwasser Event (Frasnian-Famennian, or F-F, 372 Ma), an extinction event at the end of the Frasnian, about midway through the Late Devonian. This extinction annihilated coral reefs and numerous tropical benthic (seabed-living) animals such as jawless fish, brachiopods, and trilobites.

[7] Endangered wildlife is protected by law, and as of 2005, the country has over 2,349 nature reserves ...
In 2024, for the first time in more than 50 years, there will be no pandas in the United States, after zoos in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., return pandas that have been on loan from Beijing.
While the full implications of elevated CO 2 on marine ecosystems are still being documented, there is a substantial body of research showing that a combination of ocean acidification and elevated ocean temperature, driven mainly by CO 2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, have a compounded effect on marine life and the ocean environment.
