Since the last 1000 years mayn unique animals died out, mostly because of humans. Which ones could have been prevented ? I really like hypothetical thoughts like this, because it would be awsome if Moas or giant lemurs would still be around.

For example:
Moas, if the Maori would view Moas as holy sacred animals which they werent allowed to hunt, this would rise the chance of them surviving, because the Moas still are around, the Haasts eagle could survive aswell.

Megaladapsis, a koala like lemur that lived in Madagascar till the 14th century, again it was most likely the humans who were responsible for its extincton. what if hunting a Megalapasis, would have been taboo, hunting Indris was taboo for exampe. I think they could survive aswell in that case.
