5 Animals Saved from Extinction by Humans

Humans have been responsible for extinctions in the past, and for the low populations of many endangered animals. But there are also a lot of humans determined to amend our harmful actions and to bring back the organisms that have had to suffer because of us. In the spirit of Earth Day, here are 5 animals we've saved from extinction.

That traditional medicine honestly needs to be obsolete now. That is what is killing rhinos.

[@eduardofreitas8336]

[@BenGThomas]

Indeed, I don't know how it can have persisted for so long.

[@maclennanld]

They have also ground up countless fossils for Chinese traditional medicine.

[@cadenrolland5250]

The best thing that has happened is the recent Asian prosperity boom giving Asians the ability to get real & powerful working meds rather than traditional guesswork medicine. Some of the stuff they use really is proven to work but then there is a lot more which is just a scam, like horns which are either the same stuff as finger nails or enamel as in teeth, either way not miraculous drugs at all.

[@jakegenocide]

When I was a child, I never saw a single bald eagle, then at 16, saw my first one at lake Tahoe, twelve years later, you can see them multiple times on the way to work. It's amazing!

[@Spongebrain97]

Growing up back in California the creature that was always mentioned as being saved from extinction was the California Condor

These stories are somewhat encouraging but habitat loss is the main underlying issue, and extinction of many species cannot be prevented unless this problem is mitigated in a very smart and stable way.

[@BenGThomas]

Indeed, more reserves with connecting corridors are needed, I believe that is one of the aims of savetheliontamarin.org in particular. But with so many more humans I imagine it will only get more and more problematic in the future.

[@timeshark8727]

It amazes me to think that bald eagles were almost extinct, they are all over the place now. I grew up in Pennsylvania and we had lots of them near the rivers, now I live in Florida and I see them quite often here too.

[@johndifrancisco3642]

I am glad you guys are bringing attention to this. I just want to mention that I think Star Trek IV helped save the Humpbacks too by bringing attention to them. I love Star Trek, that's why I had to say it :P

[@maxgreece1]

Always thought the kakapo would make a great pet. Probably not an acceptable thought these days but they are so adorable and you know they'll never fly away so you wouldn't need to keep them in a cage

[@BenGThomas]

They really would be, kind of like small cat-sized birds :D

[@hobosorcerer]

Maybe promoting them as pets could help their numbers grow, once they're no longer endangered?

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

No, the pet trade would decimate them.

[@koolnomi95]

I always thought the same about the Tuatara too, but they're also pretty endangered

[@fraserhenderson7839]

The kakapo would take your stuff apart! These birds are known for prying windscreen wipers and trim off automobiles with their beaks. No object is safe near a kakapo if it can be reduced to components.

[@jaimeaguilar7040]

I remember being a young girl and seeing a bald eagle was a rare sight and now a few months ago I drove by a chicken house near my home and counted 37 eagles all in bunch some flying and some hanging out in trees. It was a beautiful sight and not that unusual anymore depending on the time of year in Oklahoma.

When I was a kid I always got my parents to buy me a new toy whenever we visited the ZOO, -and I loved WWF plushies soooo... This video has proven to me; that something good came out of my past hoarding tendencies. 😂

[@daffers2345]

For several years now, I've been getting my (adult) sister a NWF plushie as one of her Christmas presents. She's an adult but LOVES stuffed toys. Both of us like the fact that the money goes where most needed, so that the cuter animals don't get all the attention. She usually wants really odd ones (her first one was a bat, one's an octopus, etc.), but one year I convinced her to let me buy her a red wolf toy. So few people know about the red wolf and it is in such dire need of help. Well, all that to say, it's super nice to find someone else who loves those sorts of things :) (P. S. I know this comment is 5 years old, but I just had to say something) :)

[@koolnomi95]

We humans have a responsibility to these animals to save them from extinction. It's our actions in the past which have caused the most harm to them so we should take the initiative to try and restore as much as we can before its too late.

There was another one used for gazelles (I think) that had GPS beacons put onto several members in a herd, so that it could be detected when the herd was fleeing from poachers

[@fraserhenderson7839]

[@admiralcat3809]

John Di Francisco yup, minke whales are indeed humbacks and are clearly endangered with atleast 1 million around.

[@fraserhenderson7839]

Ben G Thomas, The humpbacks were directly targeted and so could be "untargeted". Other species at risk are not the victims of intentional harm but are secondary or tertiary victims of changes caused by humans.These changes are, perhaps, not seen as harmful (from the limited viewpoint of humans anyway). We don't "know" we are harming them because we do know we aren't trying to harm them (excepting bald eagles). We need to pay more attention to other life forms and that's pretty hard to do. It like asking Americans to pay more attention to news from other countries, they (we) are too filled up with news from the home front.

I love the Kakapo, but I do feel the rescue of the Black Robin of New Zealand a much more impressive feat of saving an animal from extinction. The Black Robin was down to 5 individuals, with only one of those being a female. They now number around 600, all descended from that one female.

Another really good one that was more recent is most of Brachypelma Tarantulas including the iconic Mexican Red Knee.

[@seankennedy5074]

Another species that has come back from near extinction is the saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus. By the time that hunting was banned in the early 1970's in Australia they were racing toward extinction, and in less than 50 years their populations have bounced back to the point where they are more numerous now than they have ever been. A lot of their survival is credited to intact habitat and the protections of CITES, as they are a very commercial species and is farmed commercially for leathers and meat. C. porosus is still vulnerable throughout the parts of the rest it's range, but in Australia they are at the point where culling is definitely a viable option. Interestingly, the Australian population has been speculated to be a distinct species from the populations in India and SE Asia based on morphological characters such as larger head and shorter tails, but this could be attributed changes due to ageing. Anyway, another great video.

Bald eagles are everywhere here in Vancouver, theyre almost pests ;) jk jk. Thank you for supporting and recommending environmental and conservation organizations in this video. I work for an organization that is working towards creating a provincial endangered species legislation here in British Columbia. I know first hand the energy, time, and money that goes behind the fight for species and habitat protection.

Humans were the cause of these animals almost going extinct. I wouldn't consider that actually saving. But thanks to the few that did care enough to make these changes.

10:14 poor rhino 😵 I was having breakfast and this made me stop eating... I hope the hunting of the rhinos for their horn stops

The Kakapo's skin is good at insulating because it's the world's only alpine parrot. It's used to cold temperatures.

I've never wanted a wild animal that is impossible to take care of in captivity more than that cackapo

[@BenGThomas]

Haha, they would make very cute pets :)

Mosquitos need to be on this List

For future reference, when saying Maori, it’s similar to “Maui” with an R. Good try though. Interesting fact: NZ also has a ground-dwelling bat, and nearly-flightless (after it’s eaten, because it’s so greedy) pigeon... Tbh, most of our native wildlife are either flightless or weird XD Usually both XD (Still love ‘em though)

Imagine that we still have woolly mammoths 😍

This video: 5 animals saved from extinction by humans. Next video: 1000 species made extinct by humans.....

A New Zelander here. A correction on the pronunciation of Maori. It's not Ma-ori but rather Maw-ree. I've found very few videos on youtube get this right

When zoos clearly can do a lot of good, I just don’t get why some people get so bent out of shape about them. I’m sorry, but you’re ignoring the facts if you act like ALL zoos are bad. Yes, some zoos are pretty bad but there’s plenty more that care about their animals and make a difference in the world!
