The Chuditch is endangered for many reasons, some of which I do not know a lot about, but I can partly answer the question.
One reasone is the the introduction of red foxes, as the Chuditch makes a good meal for a fox; a good size and easily identifiable as good to eat. Feral cats also played a small part in the endangering of the species for the same reasons.
Another more tragic reason is the urbanisation of the Chuditch's habitat. When colonies were first established in WA, Chuditchs would sometimes go and take chickens and other small livestock, and so were seen as a menace to farmers. Ever since then, new suburbs and buildings have gradually taken the place of the dry sclerophyll woodland the Chuditchs inhabit, and so there are far fewer surviving.

The chuditch, also known as the western quoll, is endangered due to habitat loss, competition with invasive species, and predation by introduced predators such as foxes and cats. These factors have led to a decline in chuditch populations in the wild. Conservation efforts are ongoing to help protect and increase their numbers.

It is important to protect their habitats and regulate fishing practices to ensure the conservation of these species.
How do endangered species affect global warming?
Endangered species play a role in mitigating global warming through natural processes. For example, forests inhabited by endangered species absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain endangered species may help maintain the balance of ecosystems, which in turn support carbon sequestration. Preserving endangered species is crucial in sustaining these processes and combating global warming.

Is a quail extinct?
No. In 2003 there were only 65 Northern Quolls in the Northern Territory of Australia. Scientists moved them all to two islands off Arnhem Land, where there are no cane toads. (Cane toads are poisonous but were easy prey for the quoll.) Five years later, in 2008, their numbers have increased to over 6000, according the the NT Government Scientist, John Woinarski. However, the Northern quoll is classified as "critically endangered" in the Northern Territory, and "endangered" elsewhere. The Eastern quoll has become extinct from the mainland, and is only found in Tasmania, where its status, although relatively common, is "threatened". The western quoll is so named because it has become extinct from the eastern states, and is now only found in the far southwestern corner of Western Australia. Its departure from Queensland was basically unnoticed, as from the time of European settlement it was evidently quite scarce.
