'''Recently extinct mammals''' are defined by the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) as any [[mammal]]s that have become [[Extinction|extinct]] since the year 1500 [[Current Era|CE]].<ref name=fisher/> Since then, roughly 80 mammal species have become extinct.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ceballos|first1=G.|last2=Ehrlich|first2=A. H.|last3=Ehrlich|first3=P.

Extinction of [[taxon|taxa]] is difficult to confirm, as a long gap without a sighting is not definitive, but before 1995 a threshold of 50 years without a sighting was used to declare extinction.<ref name=fisher/>

One study found that extinction from [[habitat loss]] is the hardest to detect, as this might only fragment populations to the point of concealment from humans. Some mammals declared as extinct may very well [[Lazarus taxon#Mammals|reappear]].<ref name="fisher">{{cite journal|first1=Diana O.|last1=Fisher|first2=Simon P.|last2=Blomberg|year=2011|title=Correlates of rediscovery and the detectability of extinction in mammals|journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences|volume=278|issue=1708|pages=1090–1097|doi=10.1098/rspb.2010.1579|pmc=3049027|pmid=20880890}}</ref> For example, a study found that 36% of purported mammalian extinction had been resolved, while the rest either had validity issues (insufficient evidence) or had been rediscovered.<ref name="macphee">{{cite book|chapter-url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305712631|title=Extinctions in Near Time|chapter=Requiem Æternam: the last five hundred years of mammalian species extinctions|first1=Ross D.

As of June 2023, the IUCN listed 233 mammalian species as ''critically endangered'', while 27% of all mammalian species were threatened with extinction.<ref name="IUCNDATA">{{cite web|title=IUCN Red List version 2022.2|url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/|website=The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species|publisher=International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) |access-date=21 June 2023 }}</ref>

==Conventions==
All species listed here as ''[[extinct]]'' (no known individuals remaining) are designated by the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN). Species which are ''[[extinct in the wild]]'' only reside in captivity. Species listed as ''possibly extinct'' are classified as being [[critically endangered]], as it is unknown whether or not these species are extinct.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cmsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/summarystats/2016-1_Summary_Stats_Page_Documents/2016_1_RL_Stats_Table_9.pdf|title=Possibly Extinct and Possibly Extinct in the Wild Species|publisher=[[IUCN Redlist|IUCN Redlist of Threatened Species]]|year=2016|access-date=29 August 2016}}</ref> Extinct [[subspecies]] such as the [[Javan tiger]] (''Panthera tigris sondaica'')<ref>{{cite iucn |author=Jackson, P. |author2=Nowell, K. |date=2008 |title=''Panthera tigris'' ssp.

The [[IUCN Redlist]] classification for each species serves as a citation, and the superscripted "IUCN" by the date is a link to that species' page. A range map is provided where available, and a description of their former or current range is given if a range map is not available.

== Causes of extinction ==
[[Human impact on the environment|Anthropogenic]] (human caused) [[habitat degradation]] is the main cause of species extinctions now. The main cause of habitat degradation worldwide is agriculture, with [[urban sprawl]], logging, mining and some fishing practices close behind. The physical destruction of a habitat, both directly ([[deforestation]] for [[land development]] or [[lumber]]) and indirectly (burning [[fossil fuel]]s), is an example of this.<ref>{{cite book|title=Essentials of Conservation Biology|last=Primack|first=R. B.|publisher=Sinauer Associates|year=2006|isbn=978-0-87893-720-2|edition=4th|location=Sunderland, MA.|pages=177–188|chapter=Habitat destruction}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url= |title=Combustion of available fossil fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet |last1=Winkelmann |first1=Ricarda |author1-link=Ricarda Winkelmann |last2=Levermann |first2=Anders |year=2015|doi=10.1126/sciadv.1500589 |pmid=26601273|pmc=4643791 |last3=Ridgwell |first3=Andy |last4=Caldeira |first4=Ken |journal=Science Advances |volume=1 |issue=8 |pages=e1500589 |bibcode=2015SciA....1E0589W}}</ref>

Also, increasing toxicity, through media such as [[pesticide]]s, can kill off a species very rapidly, by killing all living members through [[contamination]] or [[Sterilization (medicine)|sterilizing]] them. [[Persistent organic pollutant]]s (POPs), for example, can [[bioaccumulate]] to hazardous levels, getting increasingly dangerous further up the [[food chain]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kelly|first1=B. C.|last2=Ikonomou|first2=M. G.|last3=Blair|first3=J. D.|last4=Morin|first4=A. E.|last5=Gobas|first5=F. A. P.

Disease can also be a factor: [[white nose syndrome]] in [[bat]]s, for example, is causing a substantial decline in their populations and may even lead to the extinction of some species.<ref name="Langwig_2012">{{cite journal|last=Langwig|first=K.E.|year=2012|title=Sociality, density-dependence and microclimates determine the persistence of populations suffering from a novel fungal disease, white-nose syndrome|journal=Ecology Letters|volume=15|issue=1|pages=1050–1057|doi=10.1111/j.1461-0248.2012.01829.x|pmid=22747672|author2=W.F. Frick|author3=J.T. Bried|author4=A.C. Hicks|author5=T.H. Kunz|author6=A.M. Kilpatrick|bibcode=2012EcolL..15.1050L }}</ref>

[[Overhunting]] also has an impact. Terrestrial mammals, such as the tiger and deer, are mainly hunted for their pelts and in some cases meat, and marine mammals can be hunted for their oil and leather. Specific targeting of one species can be problematic to the ecosystem because the sudden demise of one species can inadvertently lead to the demise of another ([[coextinction]]) especially if the targeted species is a [[keystone species]]. [[Sea otter]]s, for example, were hunted in the [[maritime fur trade]], and their drop in population led to the rise in [[sea urchin]]s—their main food source—which decreased the population of kelp—the sea urchin's and [[Steller's sea cow]]'s main food source—leading to the extinction of the Steller's sea cow.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Estes|first1=James A.|last2=Burdin|first2=Alexander|last3=Doak|first3=Daniel F.|year=2016|title=Sea otters, kelp forests, and the extinction of Steller's sea cow|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America|volume=113|issue=4|pages=880–885|doi=10.1073/pnas.1502552112|pmc=4743786|pmid=26504217|bibcode=2016PNAS..113..880E|doi-access=free}}</ref> The hunting of an already limited species can easily lead to its extinction, as with the [[bluebuck]] whose range was confined to {{convert|1700|sqmi|sqkm}} and which was hunted into extinction soon after discovery by European settlers.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Husson|first1=A.

B.|year=1969|title=On the type of ''Antilope leucophaea'' preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie Leiden|journal=Zoologische Mededelingen|volume=44|pages=147–157}}</ref>

== Australia ==
Island creatures are usually [[endemic]] to only that island, and that limited range and small population can leave them vulnerable to sudden changes.<ref>{{cite book|url={{Google books|plainurl=yes|id=JmSsNuwMAxgC|page=225}}|title=Evolution of Island Mammals: Adaptation and Extinction of Placental Mammals on Islands|last1=van der Geer|first1=Alexandra|last2=Lyras|first2=George|last3=de Vos|first3=John|last4=Dermitzakis|first4=Michael|publisher=Wiley-Blackwell|year=2010|isbn=978-1-4051-9009-1|location=Oxford|pages=225–227}}</ref> While Australia is a continent and not an island, due to its geographical isolation, its [[Endemism|unique fauna]] has suffered an extreme decline in mammal species, 10% of its 273 terrestrial mammals, since [[History of Australia (1788–1850)|European settlement]] (a loss of one to two species per decade); in contrast, only one species in North America has become extinct since [[European colonization of the Americas|European settlement]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}} Furthermore, 21% of Australia's mammals are [[Threatened species|threatened]], and unlike in most other continents, the main cause is predation by [[feral species]], such as [[feral cat|cats]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Woinarskia|first1=John C.

==Extinct species==
{{See also|Extinction}}
A species is declared extinct after exhaustive surveys of all potential habitats eliminate all reasonable doubt that the last individual of a species, whether in the wild or in captivity, has died.<ref name=iucn2012/> Recently extinct species are defined by the IUCN as becoming extinct after 1500 [[Current Era|CE]].<ref name=fisher/>

==Extinct in the wild==
{{See also|Extinct in the wild}}

A species that is extinct in the wild is one which has been [[Conservation status|categorized]] by the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) as only known by living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range due to massive [[habitat loss]]. A species is declared extinct in the wild after thorough surveys have inspected its historic range and failed to find evidence of a surviving individual.<ref name=iucn2012>{{cite book|url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/documents/redlist_cats_crit_en.pdf|title=IUCN Redlist Categories and Criteria|year=2012|publisher= IUCN Species Survival Commission|edition=2nd|isbn=978-2-8317-1435-6|location=Gland, Switzerland}}</ref>

==Possibly extinct==
{{See also|Possibly extinct}}

Extinction of taxa is difficult to detect, as a long gap without a sighting is not definitive. Some mammals declared as extinct may very well [[Lazarus taxon#Mammals|reappear]].<ref name=fisher/> For example, a study found that 36% of purported mammalian extinction had been resolved, while the rest either had validity issues (insufficient evidence) or had been rediscovered.<ref name=macphee/> As of December 2015, the IUCN listed 30 mammalian species as "critically endangered (possibly extinct)".<ref name=IUCNDATA/>
