With this series of articles we will not cover long-extinct species such as dinosaurs.

We use this opportunity to mention those animals that have become extinct in recent history, and whose disappearance is most influenced by man and the wicked ways that lead to their extinction. Man's impact on the disappearance of certain species can be divided into direct and indirect.
