There are many extinct species. This is to do tribute to them.

Those that would never had made it onto iSpot except by some quirk of fate.

This may include species officially declared extinct in the past, but since rediscovered. Or that vanished for over the 50 year limit as per the IUCN definition of extinct. And those that are Extinct in the Wild because their last remaining home has been destroyed, but which still survive in cultivation - as which may have active restoration programmes. Also included are species presumed extinct (Critically Endangered: Presumed Extinct) because all known populations are gone and it may be totally wiped out.
It may even include "false species" in futile attempts to reconstruct Extinct species (or subspecies).
