Extirpated
Extirpated refers to the local disappearance of a species from a defined geographic area, while the species continues to exist elsewhere. In ecology, a population is extirpated when it no longer occurs in a region such as a country, state, watershed, or habitat type, even though its global range remains intact. The term is commonly used in conservation to describe regional losses that are not global extinctions.
The word is derived from Latin extirpatus, meaning uprooted or torn out by the roots.
Extirpation can result from multiple pressures, including habitat destruction, overharvesting, disease, invasive species, climate change, and
Conservation and restoration efforts often aim to prevent extirpation or to reverse it where feasible. Actions
