Some examples of loss of species include the extinction of the dodo bird, the passenger pigeon, the Tasmanian tiger, and the Baiji dolphin. Additionally, various species of plants, insects, amphibians, and mammals have faced decline and extinction due to habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, overexploitation, and invasive species.
