How endangered is the quagga?

The quagga, a subspecies of the plains zebra, is considered extinct as the last known individual died in captivity in 1883. Although efforts to breed a similar-looking zebra through selective breeding have been made, these animals are not true quaggas. Conservationists focus on preserving the genetic heritage of the species and educating the public about extinction. Thus, the quagga remains a poignant reminder of the impact of human activity on biodiversity.
