Toucans are actually a family of birds found in Central and South America comprised of around 40 species split among 5 Genera. Many species live in the rainforest so may be threatened due to deforestation. However the arguably most well recognised, the Toco toucan prefers open woodland habitats so is less likely to be impacted by deforestation. It is currently on Birdlife International's Least concern list

What is the difference between endangered and extinct animals?

Endangered Species are ones that have a very small population and that population is at a greater risk of becoming extinct. Many species that become extinct never make to the endangered species list. Extinct Species are ones that are either known (documented) to be extinct or are so few in population that a recovery is considered highly unlikely even under excellent conditions.
