Every Animal That Became Extinct In The Last Century

When we think about the damage done by human activity on this planet, perhaps the most tragic example would be endangered, and especially extinct, species.

Not that every endangered and extinct species is necessarily the fault of human activity. Obviously, the dinosaurs did not die off because of human activity, obviously.

However, the fact of the matter remains that human activity has to shoulder more than it's fair share of blame for the amount of species that it has caused, be it directly or indirectly, to become endangered, or to go outright extinct.

It really is not hard to understand, and Daniel Quinn gave it a simple formula. He boiled it down to this, easy to understand sentence:

The more human mass is produced in this world, the more this mass takes away from the mass of other living creatures.

The more the explosion in human population growth continues unchecked, the more detrimental the impact we have on this living planet. The never ending expansion of human population is bad news for most other living creatures, with some exceptions  - mostly, those animals that, directly or indirectly benefit from our practices. That includes farm animals and domestic animals, but it also includes rodents, as well.

I found this link to animals that have gone extinct in the last century, and quite frankly, I was quite surprised that there were actually as few as there proved to be. The impression that I got, at least, was that there were a whole lot more animals that had grown scarce to the point of vanishing forever from the face of this planet.

So here is the link, and I do hope that you take a look. We need to recognize that there is nothing natural about this, and that eventually, our practices might just make the human species endangered, if not outright extinct:
