@No_uh yes, extinct at the time of resolution.

you should consider using our very own @ConservationForecasts 's markets for this resolution. Link the resolution of this to any or all of the subspecies which have markets in them already!

Will the wild population of the Orca (Orcinus orca) become extinct by 2100?

11% chance. This market focuses on the extinction risk of the wild population of the Orca, aka Killer Whale, a species that was classified as Data Deficient for the IUCN Red List in 2017. It will resolve YES, if the species is declared Extinct in the Wild or Extinct by the IUCN by 2100, or earlier. It will also resolve YES, if there is other strong evidence in 2100 that the wild population is extinct. The market will resolve NO, if there is strong evidence in 2100, that the wild population of the Orca persists. For more information about the species, see: IUCN assessment Wikipedia For comparison, here the market about full extinction risk, including captive individuals: (https://manifold.markets/embed/ConservationForecasts/will-the-orca-aka-killer-whale-orci?play=true)

@No_uh doesn't apply to this market, as you discovered, but appreciate the headsup nonetheless. Interesting markets
