well first of all diatoms are not a species, they are an entire class of organisms with many different species under the umbrella term, "diatoms." And there will probably always be diatoms of some kind or another. If certain types are endangered, it would be pretty hard to notice as they are microscopic. And it would be near impossible to get anyone to care about an endangered microscopic single-celled organism. That's like asking someone to care about an endangered sewer bacteria or an endangered dirt fungus. At best it's like yeah who cares at worst it's like good effin riddance. But i think this is most likely a troll question anyway. (Don't you have studying to do?)
