Extinction, or disappearance of different life forms from the face of the Earth, has been a common thing since the prehistoric times due to the laws of nature. However, in the modern world, it is more critical to understand what extinction is, and what can be the causes behind the whole population of a species being lost.

As the dominant species, humans are responsible for conserving and protecting their fellow species. Recognition of this duty can only come through knowledge about all the families, genera, and species already killed by nature, or by human activities.

Here at ExtinctAnimals.org, we thrive to provide that knowledge, so our readers can contribute to saving nature, and its animals that still have hope to survive and flourish. We have to remember that “Saving one animal won’t change the world. But it will change the world for that one animal” — and it’s a start.
