Well, a species could be found over a wide area... perhaps even worldwide, so you would have to either divide into geographical areas and count the members of the species only in that area, or you would have to do something more inventive. For humans, we do a lot of census polls. For animals we often catch wild animals and plant trackers in order to get a better idea of where members of the species are and get a good count. Other animals, like pets, we can get good estimates from other sources like breeding records, reports of feral animals, pet store sales, etc. No method can be perfect unless the entire population is very small and in one place.
Subtract those leaving the area from those in or arriving at the area
Scientists can count a species population using methods such as observational surveys, camera traps, radio tracking, and genetic analysis. These methods help estimate population size and distribution accurately, allowing scientists to monitor changes over time and implement conservation strategies effectively.
Add up the individuals who come into an Area and subtract those who leave the area.
species stay the same
a population is a count of one species & a community counts as many species all at same time.

A population refers to a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same geographical area and are likely to interbreed. This term is commonly used in ecology and evolutionary biology to study the dynamics of a particular species within a specific habitat.
A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same geographic area and have the potential to interbreed. It is a fundamental unit in ecology and can vary in size, spatial distribution, and genetic composition. Understanding population dynamics is crucial for studying the interactions between organisms and their environment.

The word extinct means no longer in existence, in reference to an animal species that has completely died out. endangered means that an animal species has a very small, and/or possibly threatened population. they are similar in that they are both in reference to animal species population count.
