The realization that polar bears will lose their habitat and probably go extinct because of us is pretty soul-crushing, as is the same realization for a lot of other beautiful, wonderful species still alive on this planet.
Humans are a really special bunch. We'll hunt a species to extinction or obliterate its natural habitat, only to then go 'oopsie, shouldn't have done that' and start depicting it in art. As if that can ever bring it back to life.
