I was thinking in more general terms, Moon. I'm not saying you're right or wrong either - just that I have a different viewpoint on this.
To me, a species which faces extinction due to habitat loss or whatever is a mere symptom of the overall problem (if there is in fact a
problem). But sometimes a species has just reached the end of its term.
