species survival
Not going extinct
Species survival is the continued existence of a species over time, particularly its ability to persist through environmental pressures, threats, and changing conditions.
The term appears most often in conservation biology and ecology: Climate change poses the greatest threat to species survival.
It encompasses reproduction rates, genetic diversity, habitat availability, and adaptation capacity—all factors determining whether a species thrives or faces extinction.
