  1. Australia

    Birds

    King Island Emu, Dromaius ater, King Island, 1805. Hunting.

    Kangaroo Island Emu, Dromaius baudinianus, Kangaroo Island, 1827. Hunting, fires.

    Tasman Starling (Lord Howe Island), Aplonis fusca hulliana, Lord Howe Island, 1918. Predation by the black rat Rattus rattus.

    Tasman Starling (Norfolk Island), Aplonis fusca fusca, Norfolk Island , 1923. Competition from introduced European starling, song thrush and common blackbird, clearance for agriculture.

    Paradise Parrot, Psephotus pulcherrimus, Qld and northern NSW, 1927. Date uncertain, more recent sightings are somtimes claimed but have never been confirmed. Cause uncertain, most hypothesis centre on starvation from lack of grass seed after drought, overgrazing, more frequent fires, and introduction of prickly pear.

    Robust White-eye, Zosterops strenuus, Norfolk Island, early 1920s. Predation by Rattus rattus.

    Mammals

    Big-eared Hopping-mouse, Notomys macrotis, south-west WA, 1843. Uncertain causes, probably predation by cats and foxes.

    Darling Downs Hopping-mouse, Notomys mordax South-east Qld, 1846. Uncertain, probably predation by cats.

    Broad-faced Potoroo, Potorous platyops, South-west WA, 1865. Unknown causes: related species have declined because of grazing and clearing of dense vegetation for agriculture.

    Eastern Hare-wallaby, Lagorchestes leporides, Murray-Darling basin, 1890. Decline of Aboriginal burning, grazing.

    Short-tailed Hopping-mouse, Notomys amplus, widespread, 1896. Uncertain, probably predation by cats and foxes.

    White-footed Rabbit-rat, Conilurus albipes, warm grasslands, 1900. Competition from rabbits & livestock, fox predation. Date uncertain, not reported since the late 19th Century.

    Long-tailed Hopping-mouse, Notomys longicaudatus, southwestern WA, southern NT, northwestern NSW, 1901. Uncertain causes, possibly fox and cat predation.

    Christmas Island Rat, Rattus macleari, Christmas Island, 1908. Probably a viral disease transmitted by the introduced black rat Rattus rattus.

    Christmas Island Rat, Rattus nativitatusi, Christmas Island, 1908. As R. nativitatusi.

    Crescent Nailtail Wallaby, Onychogalea lunata, South-western WA to SA and NT, 1908?. May have survived in NT until 1960s. Habitat loss to grazing and agriculture, destruction of sheltering thickets by cattle may have made it more vulnerable to predation.

    Lesser Bilby, Macrotis leucura, arid central & western districts, 1931. Fur trapping, fox predation, rabbit competition for burrows.

    Toolache Wallaby, Macropus greyi, swampy grasslands in Vic * SA, 1932. Hunting & habitat loss to grazing.

    Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, Thylacinus cynocephalus, Tasmania, 1933. Bounty hunting, habitat destruction, collection for zoos.

    Lesser Stick-nest Rat, Leporillus apicalis, Semi-arid areas from Murray basin to WA coast, 1933. Competition from grazing and rabbits.

    Central Hare-wallaby, Lagorchestes asomatus, NT-WA border area, 1935. Decline of Aboriginal burning, grazing.

    Desert rat-kangaroo, Caloprymnus campestris, arid central Australia, 1935? Fox & cat predation, rabbit competition, land clearing. Status uncertain, may have survived longer, possibly until the present.

    Pig-footed bandicoot, Chaeropus ecaudatus, widespread through deserts, grasslands & open woodlands, 1950s. Decline of Aboriginal land burning (on which it thrived), grazing.

  2. Well, apparently, an estimated 25 species go extinct every day.

  3. 3000 species of frogs alone

    many species of microbes

    the smallest but they have the biggest impact on the environment

    countless species of insects ,,birds reptiles ,and many nocturnal species of animals

    some of the wolf and bear species in Europe

    In Madagascar a whole range of lemurs has gone.

    Only people who work with specific species have an idea of which are going extinct in their area .

    nobody knows exactly how many altogether .

    whole eco systems have ceased to exist and everything that lived in them went with it because their  habitat was gone.

    huge yearly migrations of herds of a kind of deer ,numbering thousands of animals on the tundras,have gone in just 5 years

    Not only Animals ,birds,insects .microbes ,and reptiles have gone extinct also the flora in those places.

    In 300 years half of the worlds forests have gone

    half of the worlds rain forests and wetlands ,in the last 50 years.

    We are witness to the biggest extinction of Flora and fauna since the dinosaurs.

    To make a list would be many pages.

    this question should be about a specific Area

    check the David Attenborough BBC documentaries ,called planet Earth ,the 3 called Future and saving species to get some idea

  4. the Dodo
