From the OP, that you obviously didn't read......Memes all you have? Can't even name 20 species this century when you are claiming that millions are threatened?
(To coin a phrase from an old Megadeth album)
Humans are driving one million species to extinction
Up to one million plant and animal species face extinction, many within decades, because of human activities, says the most comprehensive report yet on the state of global ecosystems.
Without drastic action to conserve habitats, the rate of species extinction — already tens to hundreds of times higher than the average across the past ten million years — will only increase, says the analysis. The findings come from a United Nations-backed panel called the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
According to the report, agricultural activities have had the largest impact on ecosystems that people depend on for food, clean water and a stable climate. The loss of species and habitats poses as much a danger to life on Earth as climate change does, says a summary of the work, released on 6 May.
The analysis distils findings from nearly 15,000 studies and government reports, integrating information from the natural and social sciences, Indigenous peoples and traditional agricultural communities. It is the first major international appraisal of biodiversity since 2005. Representatives of 132 governments met last week in Paris to finalize and approve the analysis.

Are we ourselves close to extinction ?
What are mass extinctions, and what causes them?

Since 99.9% of all the species that have ever lived on earth are now extinct, it stands to reason that all species that live on earth face extinction...the odds for escaping it are exceedingly small...
Your report is pseudoscience intended to fool people who lack the intellectual wattage to do a bit of fact checking...they claim millions but can't name 20 that have actually gone extinct this century? How stupid does someone have to be to take that sort of bullshit seriously?
