Buffalo are not extinct. There are two main species of buffalo: the African buffalo and the American buffalo, also known as bison. While the American buffalo faced near extinction in the 19th century due to overhunting and habitat loss, conservation efforts have helped their populations recover. The African buffalo, on the other hand, is listed as a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
