Maybe, but in the cases where extinction was caused by habitat loss, I can't 
see the habitat loss being reversed in order to let them survive. If it could 
bring that about, why not? Maybe people would then see the light about 
preventing habitat loss in the first place.

But more importantly, could we tick them?
