Threatening extinction

Description

Threatening extinction involves leveraging the risk of total elimination—of a species, culture, practice, or resource—as a strategic warning to prompt urgent action or policy change. This approach aims to mobilize stakeholders by highlighting irreversible loss, thereby encouraging conservation, protective legislation, or sustainable management. The strategy’s practical intent is to catalyze immediate remedies, such as habitat preservation, legal safeguards, or awareness campaigns, to prevent the permanent disappearance of valued entities.
