As of 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 40 animal species as extinct in the wild. [1] That is approximately 0.04% of all evaluated animal species. The IUCN also lists five animal subspecies as extinct in the wild. This is a complete list of wild animal species and subspecies listed as extinct by the IUCN.

This category lists some of the species that have become extinct due to human activity, whether intentionally or unintentionally. If a more specific reason is known, the species should also be assigned to a subcategory of Category:Endangered species by reason they are threatened. They may also need to be placed in Category:Extinctions since 1500.
Map of Asia. This is a list of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) [ a ] and continues to the present day. [ 1 ] This list includes the Asian continent and its surrounding islands, including Cyprus.
The largest extinction was the Kellwasser Event (Frasnian - Famennian, or F-F, 372 Ma), an extinction event at the end of the Frasnian, about midway through the Late Devonian. This extinction annihilated coral reefs and numerous tropical benthic (seabed-living) animals such as jawless fish, brachiopods, and trilobites.
