There is a common theme here - extensive surveys and conservation attempts when It is already too late. Far too little and far too late is tragically the norm when It comes to humanity's relationship with our fellow species.
Most of our history we have not been able to do this properly or affordably - we live in a much richer world where we have time, knowledge, and funds for this now
People despise or don't care about common species like rock pigeon but once the species is almost extinct THEN it gets attention and care...i think we should appreciate any animal not hate one but love the other and the best example is the passenger pigeon who once thrived in the millions, covering the skies as flocks and then once suddenly gone because of human reckless actions
But I guess we're still technically better than humans from the 17-19th century, who practically made a _game_ out of how many species they could wipe out.
i like how you also covered some extinct plants along with the animals, i think many people neglect to acknowledge them because we tend to form more emotional attachment to animals rather than plants
Agree here. People also forget that there's a sacred relationship between animals and plants. If a plant goes extinct, multiple species of insects and/or animals that use that plant as a host/food subsequently will also go extinct.
@ Without trees or other plants, Earth would have little to no life. People tend to forget plants as a whole when it comes to conservation. The first successful de-extinction was of a plant, the Judean date palm.
For me, this is globally the saddest era of human existence. I am an underwater photographer and videographer in Canary Islands and there are so many species that can hardly be found; lost habitats, replaced by ports, hotels and mass tourism... It is so sad and frustrating.
@ For me this is the saddest one because as human beings we have been killing each other and remaking ourselves since our first civilisation. However, if we destroy the world as we know it, if we destroy the game board, we will not be able to start the game again.
*coughcoughVaquitacoughcough.* They could've started to save the Vaquita at _any_ time, but waited until there were only _ten left_ to raise the alarm. They're so fragile that they can't be transported without risk of death, so no captive breeding. Now all we can do is wait for the headline that the last one has died. Thanks, fishing industry!
The locust thing is kind of stretching it. Locusts and grasshoppers are the same creature, the grasshopper just transforms. It’s like a caterpillar and a butterfly. The grasshoppers are still around they just don’t have the available resources to transform.
It's also funny or interesting how we have some successful cases of it. IDK if it was through conservation projects, but at one point there were like 20 American bisons left, and now they are thriving. Also, Javan Rhinceros are still there, yes, with very few specimens left (around 30) but they've been steadily mantained their numbers in the past century despite their delicate situation.
I really appreciate how you put effort into non-English words. As a NZer your pronunciation of kōkako was pretty much spot on. I've seen some channels before which absolutely butcher non-English words so shout out to you for your effort in that and the content you produce.
The attention to detail that’s out into these videos is part of why this channel is so good. I also remember a video where at the end he had himself butchering some word repeatedly, that was funny but also shows this guy wants the little things to be correct
That’s goes for all the channels these days..history was about history, not pawn crap..animal planet was about wildlife, not surviving naked in a warehouse..how I remember those days, they sold out
Wow, another well put together and very emotional video about extinction, my favorite content of yours. It’s chilling to see such high quality photos of species that are no longer with us.
Back then, extinction of a species was mostly due to over hunting caused by the idea of “there’s so many of them, it’s unlikely they’ll ever go extinct.”, only for them to be overhunted and go extinct. This is what happened with wolves east of the Mississippi River. It almost happened with Bison. People thought they were so plentiful that they didn’t care to conserve them. We almost lost bison because of that mentality, before someone with authority to do something about it thought “hey, maybe we shouldn’t be hunting bison.”
For clarification: In america, the bison near-extinction was a *purposeful* US policy in the 19th century, done to eradicate native americans who relied on the bison to live. The european bison is the one which was hunted to extinction in the wild 'unintentionally' and had to be reintroduced.
I did a project on extinct species from the 21st century in 2021 for one on my classes and made a painting for each. All of them where included here. Makes me so incredibly sad to see species go extinct within my lifetime
@@FooglerDoodgler "If the permanent extinction (often as a direct result of our own actions) of several species that have been around for millions of years upsets you, you need pills."

You should do a part 2 to the “animals found in strange places” video. In 2019, a Caiman was found in a pond outside of a local high school in Bedford, Michigan!
This is sound like me begging but could you please make a video about a video about animals that have been saved from brink of Extinction and add the endemic subspecies of Micronesia Imperial pigeon called Ratak Imperial pigeon that have been saved by the Government do to this some of there habits are safe guarded and it is still regularly hunted and I hope this help 😊❤
18000+ new species are discovered each year. We're finding an astronomical amount compared to the ones going extinct. Does that mean we're going thru a mass growth event 😅 hell no lmao
@@JuicyJam Those species existed before we discovered them. It wouldn't be far fetched to assume the amount of undiscovered species that have gone extinct is worryingly high as well. My case still stands: biodiversity is decreasing at an alarming rate.

I may only be 17 but to think I have seen more than half of the extinctions on this list truly breaks my heart if I could invent a time machine to save these animals and plants I would R.I.P to all these wonderful creatures i will one day see you in the gardens of my heaven 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
So, the only species on this list that had to disappear soon, at some point, no matter what was the Bramble Cay Melomys. Being endemic to such a small island is already a death sentence but with the sea level rising much quicker than it should have, there was no chance. The species could have lived in the wild maybe an extra 100-200 years (and I'm being generous) without extensive human industrialization but that's as far as it goes.
I think its due to pesticides. In the 90s my grandpas truck grill would be completely COVERED in dead bugs, now all I see is the occasional moth or yellow-jacket.
@SparklyDeath God, I HATE the overreliance on pesticides. I live in the suburbs where TruGreen is practically worshipped every summer. That bloom of red admiral butterflies didn't last a month before pesticide either killed or drove them all away. Tried to raise some black swallowtail caterpillars, and they all died, and going off their symptoms, I can only assume the parsley I fed them was _also_ sprayed with pesticide.
Nothing can really make me more depressed than this kind of information, such natural beauty, and almost all of it destroyed pretty much by our own doing from our overall species.
@@Ghost-zk4rvEh, somewhat. Only a few species of mosquitos (out of hundreds) cause diseases like Malaria and West Nile Virus, and these are the ones that would be targeted. Getting rid of the deadliest mosquito species would be unlikely to have devastating effects on the environment.
The Scioto madtom is such a sad one to me. I live near where it was found and have worked with some of the scientists who wrote about the species. I don't study fish myself, but talked to Marc Kibbey from the Ohio State University’s specimen museum a few times. Did research in that lab. FYI though, it's pronounced sky-oto. Not ski-oto :)
We've been absolutely merciless towards island-bound species. Whether we cut down all the trees or introduced apex predators, we don't show any respect until the last member is gone.
Another massive issue that rises from this is I feel that when people try to save a species, they expose the animals to far too much human interaction and too much human intervention instead of letting the animals stick close to their wild instincts so that they can be released back into the wild without depending on humans, and so they're vulnerable to predators because humans get them too used to having zero predators and having to not worry about defense
We can correct these mistakes thanks to de-extinction technology in addition to eliminating the problems that caused these declines and extinctions to prevent other species from meeting the same fates.
However, Many endangered species and recently extinct species were less-known or some of them were very obscure. Since, many animal activists doesn't know these species
i was born in 2005, which means i wasn't around for the extinction of a few of these animals. just knowing i never had the chance to even learn of these animals before their ends just fills me with such mixed emotions
Probably not. Madtoms are a diverse and common group of catfish. This one was just a specific species to one stream. It also looks indistinguishable to your average madtom
There's nothing quite as sad as the death of an entire species 😞. We human beings are more like a parasite or a virus compared to all the other animals on our planet. I hope we can learn to respect our mother earth before it is too late.
@ i mean animals dont have minds like we do so i dont think they would mind at all infact i think they would just see a abandoned city and just call it home same with plants
How is it decided when to declare a species extinct? Some take 100 years and some 20. The problem with declaring a species extinct sooner is that no conservation efforts will be made after the declaration. Great video, although definitely sad to watch. Little technacality, the century didn't begin till 2001 (confused me at first too) so next year is a quarter century.
It's crazy how even the lowest of humans can take precedence over The most valuable parts of nature. You all really need to stop holding each other in such high regard. Some humans just aren't worth it. Truly
34:17 quick correction rq: idk if there were any after this until the slender billed curlew, but the great auk went extinct in the mid 1800s 200 years ago, they lived in northern europe as part of their range great video though!
This video gave me an idea: A museum of extinct species. Given the limited skills & resources I have, this will have to take the form of a video game. Now I'm left with the question of how to do this properly. I don't intend for there to be an actual musem building. I envision a kind of mashup environment in which only Earth's extinct species can be found. I have the tools to give them reasonably accurate voices and appearances... but how do I ensure that this project turns into something that endears people to these species (along with those remaining) without pushing any message or giving people the wrong ideas? How do I represent these creatures' wonder and majesty without romanticizing them?
I get the point of the video and couldn't agree more on it but the title is misleading as it talks about SPECIES, while throughout the video it's the SUBSPECIES that have gone extinct. In the end, all the black rhinos are basically the same, subspecies aren't that big of a deal. The real issue is now protecting the black rhino as a species.
@dragonborn8937 You're so cavalier about it! The importance is the specialization & diversity! How each species changed to live in a particular niche, that makes the whole web of the environment mesh & work together!!!!! That is now gone forever because humans didn't care, didn't see the importance of it!!!!!
@dragonborn8937 You are not understanding where the importance lies. Each species of rhinos has developed in different ways to enable them to adapt to their environment. The one that became extinct had a flat mouth to enable it to graze on grasses. That specialization is now gone forever.
Will you make a video about Colossal Biosciences and the University of Melbourne's thylacine project? They recently completed the full genome of the species, and it could comeback by the end of the year. Also, thank you for mentioning the 2024 baiji sighting, I am surprised that it gained no international coverage despite baiji being one of the most wanted "lost" species.
You thinking abstaining from having children or driving your car just shows the ignorance you posses. But by all means. Please continue this myopic mindset. Maybe it’s best you don’t have kids.
Baiji is not extinct. It is just critically endangered. Also functionally extinct means that the species still exist but they can't really grow in number
The main reason that authorities are so unwilling to declare a species definatly extinct is because the minute they do any protections for said species are legally void Doesn't mean they think it's still out there Just that they don't want to allow the tiny chance that it is to be removed by a lack of protection
There is a common theme here - extensive surveys and conservation attempts when It is already too late. Far too little and far too late is tragically the norm when It comes to humanity's relationship with our fellow species.
Or in some cases, perceived overabundance.
Most of our history we have not been able to do this properly or affordably - we live in a much richer world where we have time, knowledge, and funds for this now
Same could be said within our own species...
People despise or don't care about common species like rock pigeon but once the species is almost extinct THEN it gets attention and care...i think we should appreciate any animal not hate one but love the other and the best example is the passenger pigeon who once thrived in the millions, covering the skies as flocks and then once suddenly gone because of human reckless actions

In my opinion that is also because plants are less likely to go extinct, as the seeds can be stored to grow later.

we grieve the loss of another species but if we go extinct the species would hardly even care about our loss
@@Thenoobyone2981 I would expect them to celebrate 😏
@ i mean animals dont have minds like we do so i dont think they would mind at all infact i think they would just see a abandoned city and just call it home same with plants
Wow this should be common knowledge
How is it decided when to declare a species extinct? Some take 100 years and some 20. The problem with declaring a species extinct sooner is that no conservation efforts will be made after the declaration. Great video, although definitely sad to watch. Little technacality, the century didn't begin till 2001 (confused me at first too) so next year is a quarter century.
It's crazy how even the lowest of humans can take precedence over The most valuable parts of nature. You all really need to stop holding each other in such high regard. Some humans just aren't worth it. Truly
Almost to 100 K!
15:30 not extinct anymore, a biologist found a female and he transported it to a zoo that had the last male.
34:17 quick correction rq: idk if there were any after this until the slender billed curlew, but the great auk went extinct in the mid 1800s 200 years ago, they lived in northern europe as part of their range
great video though!
I saw a Chinese paddle fish before it came extinct RIP😭🐟
Finally
This makes me sad
Now we're going to lose way more
Hello guys 😊
A lot of extinct species in a short period. That's really sad.
😭😭😭😭😭

This video gave me an idea: A museum of extinct species. Given the limited skills & resources I have, this will have to take the form of a video game.
Now I'm left with the question of how to do this properly. I don't intend for there to be an actual musem building. I envision a kind of mashup environment in which only Earth's extinct species can be found.
I have the tools to give them reasonably accurate voices and appearances... but how do I ensure that this project turns into something that endears people to these species (along with those remaining) without pushing any message or giving people the wrong ideas? How do I represent these creatures' wonder and majesty without romanticizing them?
I get the point of the video and couldn't agree more on it but the title is misleading as it talks about SPECIES, while throughout the video it's the SUBSPECIES that have gone extinct. In the end, all the black rhinos are basically the same, subspecies aren't that big of a deal. The real issue is now protecting the black rhino as a species.
Did you forget Sudan the rhinosaurous?
The rhinoceros is still alive, western black rhinos, northern white rhino only have become extinct in the wild
@dragonborn8937 You're so cavalier about it! The importance is the specialization & diversity! How each species changed to live in a particular niche, that makes the whole web of the environment mesh & work together!!!!! That is now gone forever because humans didn't care, didn't see the importance of it!!!!!
@@lindalavino7567 I was just saying you got it wrong 😑 not that it’s not important or anything, there are still rinos but some species are at risk.
@dragonborn8937 You are not understanding where the importance lies. Each species of rhinos has developed in different ways to enable them to adapt to their environment. The one that became extinct had a flat mouth to enable it to graze on grasses. That specialization is now gone forever.
I say Humanity has made everything worse.
Make a vídeo about the orca's taxonomy and Why is classified as data deficient
I fucking love this channel
Koukakou
Will you make a video about Colossal Biosciences and the University of Melbourne's thylacine project? They recently completed the full genome of the species, and it could comeback by the end of the year. Also, thank you for mentioning the 2024 baiji sighting, I am surprised that it gained no international coverage despite baiji being one of the most wanted "lost" species.
maybe humans should be next
Well this is depressing
These always sicken me cause seems like there always could be way more ways to breed in captivity before they go extinct
And then they wonder why Ill never have kids or a car...
You thinking abstaining from having children or driving your car just shows the ignorance you posses. But by all means. Please continue this myopic mindset. Maybe it’s best you don’t have kids.
This makes me very sad.
Some of these still have a chance for a rediscovery like baiji, and some could be cloned like bucardo.
We are going to loose more. Rewilding and more sustainable agriculture is the only cure. Politicians are mostly stupid though.
Sewercide fuel

✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Why must we destroy
So sad.
Biji Is not actually extinkt
ye we ded
Wish there was a list of species that went extinct every year, feel like it'd be super useful!
I wish humans were on sharp decline instead
China will be in 40 years. Their entire population will go from over 1 billion to under 500 million
Baiji is not extinct. It is just critically endangered. Also functionally extinct means that the species still exist but they can't really grow in number
The main reason that authorities are so unwilling to declare a species definatly extinct is because the minute they do any protections for said species are legally void
Doesn't mean they think it's still out there
Just that they don't want to allow the tiny chance that it is to be removed by a lack of protection
