The St. Helena olive became extinct primarily due to habitat destruction and invasive species. Human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, significantly diminished its natural habitat. Additionally, the introduction of non-native species, which competed for resources and altered the ecosystem, further contributed to its decline. The last known individual of the species died in 2003, marking the official extinction of the St. Helena olive.
