Talk:List of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene

Yunnan Lake Newt

Right of the Yunnan Lake Newt the following was added: "(haven't been extinct,but relatively rare)". Personally I hope this is true, but what is the reference/source? The 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (published online 4 May 2006) says it is extinct, and I quote: "Listed as Extinct because many exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, in appropriate seasons, throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual since 1979."

hope you know some chinese,i found this page on web1,where cite Cynops wolterstorffi is a protected animal of China,so i infer there should be some in the wild.To be honest, i am just a layman in zoology. maybe i am wrong.Ksyrie 19:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. Sadly I don't know anyone who can read Chinese. However, I know that some recognised extinct species are classified as critically endangered by some governments, like in China. By classifying it as extinct, not many people and organisations will take an effort or money for its or its habitat's protection/conservation. It is good to keep extinct species protected, or its habitat protected. Just in case it might survive somewhere. Pmaas 08:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Przewalski's Horses

While the picture here is excellent, I wonder: why's it on the page? As far as I can find, they're not actually extinct in Asia. Just endangered. If they are extinct, should they be added to the list? Just some confusion here.

Extinct in the Wild

I noticed that under the Extinct in the Wild section, several animals that are in fact, not extinct in the wild are listed, including the Sumatran and Javan Rhinos (extremely rare, but not extinct in the wild) and the Blue Bull (in fact quite common according to the article on the animal). I'll be removing these, and I'll look over some of the other animals listed to make sure there are no more mistakes. WatermelonRat (talk) 17:34, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
