Vultures: Extremely beneficial to the environment, going extinct
Conservationists: ok
Hundreds of reptiles and amphibians: Extremely beneficial to the environment, going extinct
Conservationists: ok
Some species of spiders: Extremely beneficial to the environment, going extinct
Conservationists: ok
Pandas: Literally do nothing, can not survive in the wild without human interference, etc
Conservationists: WE HAVE TO SAVE THIS IMMEDIATELY 

It’s always pretty much

Something going extinct- WE NEED TO SAVE THIS GUYS

Conservationists and vast majority of the public- ok. But is it cute?

they are doing some good work up at the oregon zoo with California Condors which are on the either endangered or otherwise threatened list, and that always makes me happy [not to derail- i apologize]
