I always feel a little spark of hope mixed with worry every time a supposedly extinct species is rediscovered. I worry that the population is too small to be sustained. But I feel hope when the immediate response is to protect the place where the species was found, and--when possible--implement plans to reintroduce more from captive populations.
The thing is, though, that we never know where a rare species will turn up. Every acre of wild land that's torn apart for agriculture, mining, logging, development, etc. is an acre that could be hiding something we haven't seen for ages. More importantly, it's not just the rare species that deserve habitat protection, but those that are still common.
I am in my mid-forties. In my lifetime, the planet has lost two out of every three wild animals. If I make it to ninety, and trends continue as they are now, we stand to lose one out of every three animal and plant (and, likely, fungus as well) species entirely by the time my ninetieth birthday rolls around.
Habitat loss is the single biggest cause of species endangerment and extinction. We can combat the losses by protecting the habitat that is left, and restoring it wherever else possible. Even a tiny balcony or backyard native plant garden provides crucial habitat for native insects and other invertebrates which are among the most important beings in the food web. (Here's a chapbook I wrote on the topic.)
Let's keep trying, not just for the earless dragon, but for all the species still with us today.

We've really gotta work on taking the elitism out of being environmentally conscious. EVERY little bit matters, and I really mean that.
Could only pick up trash along the road for 10 min? IT COUNTS
Could only get in touch with one local rep? IT COUNTS
Can only grow one or two native plants where you live? IT COUNTS
Can only carpool to work one day a week? IT COUNTS
Can only afford one cheap diy rain barrel for your garden? IT COUNTS
Can only have a small compost pile where you live? IT COUNTS
The belief that if you only do something on a small scale is somehow worthless is WRONG.
Every step you take or info you pass along HAS AN IMPACT. It is good and so are you.

This is climate change. I'm so sick of 'remarkable' and record-breaking weather events happening every single year. And yet Australia remains one of the least sustainable and renewable countries in the world :/
