What's the point in saving endangered animals? Hundreds of species go extinct every minute so new ones could evolve in their place. Things like pandas aren't even crucial for the ecosystem to work whatsoever.
The same money could be used for reducing pollution, and then wait for a future where you could clone just about any cute extinct animal for the public to squeal at.

If you have to ask that question, You'll never truly understand. Think about that.

Humans are shallow like that. They only care about saving the cutest little fuckers.

You could also spend the money on building an amazing gigantic castle. Your point?
Money is not a rare commodity. I'd rather cut out wasting money on much more worthless things than helping the animals we hurt.

Sometimes we stumble across life-saving properties held within the natural world that we risk losing if we destroy them before we ever study them.

Well, I'm sure you could say that in most cases, any one single species isn't crucial to the overall functioning of an ecosystem. I doubt there is any one species that if you took it out, the whole thing would fall apart, even in the case of "keystone species" which are as central of species as one can get.

Instead, every species contributes something to an ecosystem, somehow, like each individual cell in an organism or each block in a pyramid. And once you remove one, a slippery slope forms, and other species are more vulnerable, like unravelling a rug by tugging on a single strand.

Yes, species do die out on their own, their environment changes but they can't (not fast enough at least), but that doesn't justify wanton and careless human-caused extinctions which could be avoided. And that also doesn't invalidate saving species which were in danger because of human activity. I think you'll find the vast majority of conservation efforts are aimed at species that are threatened by human activity in their native range. And that is why we do it.

what species, that we actually know about and can see with the naked eye, are going extinct every fucking minute?

I don't think animals going extinct is part of evolution when it's man that's causing them to go extinct.
