A (incomplete) list of extinct animals of the British Isles, which may or may not still exist elsewhere. This list covers only extinctions in historical times. The date beside each species is the date of extinction.

Endangered/Threatened SpeciesThe following are endangered or have reducing populations within the British Isles and may become extinct in the future. Some suffer because of loss of habitat, but many are in decline following the introduction of foreign species, which out-compete the native species. For example the native Red Squirrel cannot compete with the larger American Grey Squirrel. This is also the case with Brown Trout.
Mammals
Birds
Birds currently on the Red List include the following:
Fish
AmphibiansInsects
ReintroductionThere are plans to reintroduce the European Beaver to parts of Britain, especially Scotland.
The Red Kite, Osprey and Corncrake are also being reintroduced into parts of England and Scotland. The Great Bustard is being reintroduced on Salisbury Plain.
There are no plans to reintroduce Brown Bears or Wolves.
Aurochs, Great Auks and Woolly Mammoths are globally extinct and therefore cannot be reintroduced.
