But luckily, their future looks a lot brighter than that of the great auk, which was hurted te extinction for its plum- age and meat. The last of these birds were seen in 1844 on Funk Island off the northeast coast of Newfoundland, once home to the largest great auk colony in the world.. The great auk was related te the penguins of the Antarctic. And, like penguins, it moved more gracefully under water than on land, The bird's ungainliness on land contributed tei its demise. Hunters could easily catch it. In 1795 an observer sounded an alarm about the bird's future, warning that the entire species might well be killed off by hunters. But few others noticed the plight of the great auk. Several publications that appeared in the years immediately preceding the birds extinction did flot even list it as a rare or endangered species.. Today, one of the main reasons a species becomes endangered is the loss of its habitat. However, when a species is in trouble, tl s monitored much more closely. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada publlishes a list of vulnerable, threatened, and endangered species that enables organizations and individuals tei initiate programs te help those species.
