Original Note:
Actually, 902 macroscopic species have gone extinct since 1500. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/extinct-species-since-1500?tab=table&country=Amphibians~Birds~Mammals~Fishes~Reptiles~Crustaceans~Molluscs~Plants There are 1,730,725 macroscopic species, not including single called organisms or domestic animals. https://www.currentresults.com/Environment-Facts/Plants-Animals/number-species.php So extinctions so far are actually 0.05%, not 0.7%.
