* _Recommendation_: Assuming a known negative trend in population size which would result in zero individuals when extrapolated to the present, and no recent (≤10 years) visits, the population should very likely be considered extinct (Example 1). Otherwise, if the population size trend indicates a nonzero number of individuals when extrapolated to the present (Example 2), then the population should be considered extant.

* Population visited and known as extant within the past 20 years: likely consider extant

* Population not visited in more than 20 years: possibly consider extinct

* Population not visited in more than 40 years: likely consider extinct. (In the example above, the population would be considered extinct.)
