Here are some reasons that some species become extinct:

Thyllacine, the "marsupial wolf" was hunted into extinction, as was the passenger pigeon and probably the moa.

Competition for resources can drive species into extinction.

Disease and predators also take their toll.

Insecticides like DDT weaken bird egg shells so that fewer of them hatch.

Loss of habitat is yet another factor.
