It is because they were killed or their living habitat was destroyed
by humans either actively and directly or collaterally.

Your comment above refers to the current mass extinction, where
species disappear even before scientists have a chance to record their existence.
As you say, the current mass extinction is due directly to humans
killing them, and indirectly to humans destroying habitats. In turn,
habitat loss is due directly to humans paving them over, and
indirectly to human-caused rapid climate change.
On a lighter note, I can't imagine how any species go extinct because
humans whatch this video. No reason to guilt people because they have nothing better to do than watch Youtube.
A book I like to recommend is "Extinction: Bad Genes or Bad Luck" by
David Raup. Contrary to some people's intuition, bad genes almost
never cause extinctions. Instead, extinctions are almost always a case
of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. In the case of mass extinctions, the wrong place is the entire Earth. The objection to
reviving extinct species because "they were already selected out" is wrong-headed.
Almost all species that ever lived have gone extinct. Almost all
species that live now will almost certainly go extinct sooner or
later, including God's special creation. Life on Earth is a lottery.
The longer a species survives, the more likely it will go extinct just
by chance.
Early naturalists and modern Creationists reconcile these facts with
their notions of a perfect Creator God by relying on a literal interpretation of Noah's Flood, and ignoring the question of why
anything should drown because God made a mistake.

also media taking critical stance towards our wasteful and
non-sustainable activities. Hopefully it is not too late.
Interesting story that early in pandemic here people were
avoiding moving in public if possible. It became so quiet that even
young brown bear mother with a cub did enter our capital once. ><https://news.err.ee/1090307/aleksei-turovski-bears-spotted-in-tallinn-emboldened-by-lack-of-people>
Bears managed to leave without being caught despite decent
police effort was made ... so quite clever and lucky animals.
Winners so far.
