Someone needs to make a convincing case for why we need to worry about species extinction.

Something better than "because".

BTW, the Chinese pangolin looks really cool. I don't know that I've ever seen a picture of one before.

The world is ending!

And yet it is still here. Imagine that. The world and life on it has endured a whole lot more than what Chinese MoPeds can dish out.
I think I'll go outside and swat a few mosquitoes. Gotta do my share.

Human activity in every country in every era have resulted in animal extinctions or animals becoming extant in the past simply by taking over wildlife natural habitat as society's expand. It's a no-brainer. It can be a hunter-gatherer society burning rainforest to grow crops, or it can be on a larger scale as a side affect from agricultural use of pesticides.
