Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 9% per year. Further suppose that when the population of this animal falls below 50, its extinction is inevitable (owing to the lack of reproductive options without severe in-bleeding). If the current population of the animal is 1300, when will it face extinction?
