This news does not surprise me in the slightest, but I don't think that humanity will face extinction because of loss of species diversity. Not at our current level of technology and extrapolating forward from that.
Cloning and Genetic engineering will help in many instances, as well things like zoos and such. Unfortunately, the days of seeing animals in the wild may be heavily numbered. That being said, there are certain species whose loss will cause a major problem for mankind, species like the Bee whose pollination skills are quite essential for crop and plant spread. We could most likely grow crops without bees, not nowhere near enough to support the current population level of the Earth. So that would be a big problem. The future though will probably give us food that we would not recognise, and would most likely hesitate to eat, actual animal meat will probably become something for the rich and powerful, and the rest of us will have some kind of synthesised protein based nutrient. But, on the upside, hopefully an emigration into an online reality will mean that we can have the sensation of eating steak, even if we're eating some kind of manufactured seaweed. |

Get in on the ground floor now!
Still plenty of meat on the hoof. IT'S MADE BY PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE FROM PEOPLE |
You only need to take the bees out.

Taking out the bees will limit the variety of food available, but not be a major threat to survival.

I was always told if the Bees go the Earth will follow.

It won't do a large portion of the worlds population a lot of good, since the reduction of pollination would cut back by a not insignificant amount the growth and spread rate of vegetation. This in turn would reduce livestock levels to an amount which can be supported by manually pollinated vegetation, leading to a massive drop in human population.
In short, they are pretty damn vital. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/2014...s-went-extinct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGQketQzTc |
It won't take long before some or most of the Doomsdays conspirators will use this as a 100 % prof that they are right.

And people seem to forget that its not just humans that depend on the bees work.

Good. The sooner this failed species called Homo Sapiens becomes extinct, the sooner nature can start to recover.
