Too much have gone extinct, and there's only us humans to blame.

I totally agree with you. We are responsible for the loss of so many animals on earth.

Captivity programs to repopulate critically endangered species are absolutely fantastic. Although the main ones we are aware of are all animals. We have no idea of the impact from the possible extinction of numerous other critically endangered plants, insects, and microorganisms that aren't as cute or marketable.

We simply have too much of an impact and effect on our surroundings to the point we're likely going to drive our own extinction.
