Functionally extinct animals 2019. Their number has plummeted to a low of 80000 affecting their. This term means there are too few members of a species to perform its function in the ecosystem says Steve Beissinger a conservation biologist at the University of California Berkeley. But ecologist Diana Fisher says the fires damaged only 1 million hectares of the 100 million hectares of forest in eastern Australia and that koalas are still nowhere near functionally extinct.
