The Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine was a native animal of Australia. It was never endangered, as the various conservation status levels were not in force before it became extinct. It was moved to "extinct" status as a result of being hunted as a possible threat to livestock in Tasmania following European settlement. The last known Tasmanian Tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936, and there have been no confirmed sightings since then.

It didn't. The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger (and not to be confused with the Tasmanian devil), this marsupial has been deemed extinct since 1936. This occurred before protection measures were put in place, and before official conservation status levels were applied. It was never placed on the list of endangered species.
