Which article are you evaluating?
Extinction risk from climate change

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Extinction is a headline issue when it comes to global climate change. Each year, more creatures, insects, and plants become extinct, having a significant impact on many ecosystems. This piece, in my opinion, has a lot of potential, especially because there is currently a structure in place for modifications from year to year. It still lacks a segment for 2021, and with so many significant changes in our planet, particularly COVID, you could go into great detail on how COVID benefited numerous living forms.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section is fine, however it could be improved or expanded. It also discusses a lot of stuff that is never revisited later on the page. The Paris Agreement and the IUCN stats are briefly discussed, but it is never referenced again after that. I believe you could also expand on what is causing the continuous increase in temperature.

Content

Its content is both relevant and current, however it may be improved. The year 2019 could be stretched, particularly considering it was the year the Amazon rainforest was destroyed by a devastating fire. There is also no section for 2021, which would be a great addition to this post. There was a lot that happened in 2021, notably COVID, and there were several advantages to wild life at that time.

Tone & Balance/Images/Sources and References/Organization

Everything in these sections look fine after skimming the article. The images seem relevant and useful, there are many creditable sources with links attached to them, the tone seems neutral, and each year has its own category. When editing and adding to the article just be sure to continue with this trend.

Talk Page Discussion

The talk page simply explains why some portions of contributions were removed, as well as why some sections of the article were removed due to a lack of a reputable source. I'd double-check all of the current sources to ensure that the information in the article is correct.

Overall Impressions

Overall, this piece appears to be entertaining and informative, with plenty of room for further content to be added. This should not be too difficult because you do not need to change the tone, may not have to worry about past references, and the layout is already well-organized.
