A type of forest buffalo called a "gaur" is found in India, Burma, and Malaysia. Due to deforestation and land development, the gaur are losing their forest habitat. As a result, their numbers are decreasing.

The function below can be used to determine s(t), the number of gaur remaining, where t is the year.

s(t) = −t + 2643

If deforestation continues and gaur numbers continue to follow this trend, in approximately what year will the gaur become extinct?
