Isn't it a little premature to call the Maugean skate, 'The thylacine of the sea'?
Thylacines are extinct while the skate is still exist though only in Macquarie Harbour.

Our environmental laws are failing us in the face of the climate crisis
"If we don’t stop this rampant approval of fossil fuel projects, by 2073 we’ll be living through the large-scale destruction of ecosystems and will have breached multiple tipping points, leading to the collapse of our food systems and hellish heat and fires."
"If we don’t get this right, we’re not just making every day Threatened Species Day, we’re headed towards a toxic, sad, future, with damage and destruction that cannot be unwound. There are no second chances or take backs, it’s now or never."
Prof Tim Flannery is a former climate commissioner, chief councillor at the Climate Council and one of Australia’s leading writers on climate change

SUPPORT PROTECTING FOR THESE ENDANGERED WHALES 🐋
The Gulf of Mexico is home to Rice's whales, one of the world's most endangered whale species. Fewer than 50 of these magnificent mammals remain — yet they have no federally protected critical #habitat.
Rice's whales are hovering on the brink of #extinction. Vessel collisions, #oil spills, and chronic #noise from #SeismicBlasting and other #OilIndustry activities all threaten their survival.

According to my research, the Great Bustard was still pretty well recorded in Britain 250-500 years ago. It was hunted to extinction in the nineteenth century, but has since been reintroduced in Wiltshire.
I wonder if all the birds in the eastern Fen counties got soggy bums! - I don't think they are very waterproof birds! 😹🦃

Every day we observe the unfolding of the #climatecrisis and sever impacts that @ipcc_ch warned about - with prophetic foresight and prescient prediction. I fear same will be true for @ipbes - climate change might be reversible, #extinction is forever.
"Cats kill over 6 million native animals in Australia each day, and are challenging to manage...Since they arrived in Australia with Europeans, cats have spread across 99% of the country...One in ten of the mammal species present when cats arrived are now extinct. Cats played a major role in most of those 34 extinctions. And they continue to drive population declines and regional extinctions of susceptible species...Impacted species include more than 200 of Australia’s nationally listed threatened species and 37 migratory species."

Environmentalists condemn Australia’s ‘woeful record’ after 48 plants and animals added to threatened species list
“This many species being added to the list in one go is a sign of widespread ecological collapse,” Tim Beshara of the Wilderness Society.
“Australia has a woeful track record when it comes to protecting our unique animals and plants. We are a world leader in sending mammals to extinction – and it is mostly because we keep allowing their homes to be bulldozed, logged and overrun,” Nature campaigner Jess Abrahams
“We need stronger laws to protect these species and significantly more funding to do it with."

Kunde möchte kein Hardcover von "Zeitenende" kaufen, denn das hält ja noch 100 Jahre und in 100 Jahren gibt's zwar noch den Planeten, aber keine Buchlesenden mehr.

#Humans faced a #closecall with #extinction nearly #1millionyearsago
The human population may have lingered at about 1,300 for more than 100,000 years
That population bottleneck could have fueled the divergence between #modernhumans, #Neanderthals and #Denisovans.
Previous research suggested that modern humans originated about 300,000 years ago in Africa.

Fascinating study suggests it's very likely that the thylacine, last confirmed to exist in 1936, only truly went extinct late in the 20th century...and there's a small chance a few could be roaming Tasmania's most remote wildernesses even now. 😮
