As the decade comes to a close and we start seeing an explosion of listicles about the last ten years, we here at Listicles labs are predicting an overwhelmingly sad, scary and disappointing summary of the aughts. We imagine that this will be an especially inescapable verdict for all things environmental, as we’ve done a good deal to destroy nearly every natural habitat within reach over the last ten years.

The Guardian suggests as much with their listicle of 10 Species Lost in the Aughts, which includes some beatutiful animals like the Baiji dolphin, the Scimitar Oryx and the Spix’s macaw. For our part, we’re most saddened by the loss of the Golden Toad (pictured), a native of a tiny region in Costa Rica, which hadn’t been seen in the wild since 1988, but was officially pronounced extinct in 2004.
