This is a link to Wikipedia’s list of extinct animals by region. There you can also find links to extinction lists of plants.

The vast majority of extinctions, though, are thought to be undocumented.

Estimates show that the extinction rate now is running a very large amount above normal background levels. Some, with good evidence, claim we are in the middle of a mass extinction event.
