We’ve gathered a short list of animals going extinct in 2022, but according to the IUCN Red List there’s more than 40,000 species currently threatened with extinction. A species is classified as going extinct if there’s less than 250 mature individuals and the population has declined by 50-70 percent. 

Due to human influence from deforestation, industrialisation, global warming, urbanization and the introduction of invasive species, many species have lost much of their natural habitat resulting in huge declines in population.
