How many plant and animal species do wildlife experts estimate are endangered?
Burka [1]

The right answer is c. 3 to 10 million

The latest estimates are a bit more precise: there are 8.7 million living species (which is included in the range between 3 and 10 million), 6.5 million on land and 2.2 million in the water. Which is amazing, since there is more sea than land on our planet.

Researchers estimate that there are 7.77 million animal species, only 298,000 plant species and 611,000 species of fungi and molds.
