Dodo  

Canadian cod  

Rothschild's orchid  

Whales  

Passenger pigeon

1. Multiple species were almost wiped out, but are slowly recovering after a moratorium on hunting them.

2. Once the most populous species of its kind in North America, these were hunted to extinction by 1901.

3. When sailors stocked its island with pigs, the pigs destroyed this species' ability to reproduce.

4. This species was almost wiped out by collectors who prized its rarity.

5. Once a major resource in Canada, the population crashed in the 1990s. Recovery is slow because they cannot reproduce until age 7.
