Well, they are on a verge of extinction because of habitat loss - which is mostly caused by man.

Wait, what? Your saying ANTS, a tiny harmless insect that is vital for the health of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, kill people? That is idiotic, and not only is insect conservation pathetic, the thought that people think any effort that really is being done should go to another animal getting attention already is horrible. You are the dumb ass.

I don't think ants can go extinct unless all of the earth is destroyed - that is just one species of ants out of thousands and thousands of them.
