humanity is almost certainly immune to extinction, there are too many of us, spread out over the whole globe for anything less than a planet killing asteroid to take us all out.Even the most horribly infectious and deadly diseases are never 100% fatal to those who get it. a low birth rate in any given culture is definitly a threat to that culture, and almost all cultures have a deep identity with they bieng "the people", so it is easy to understand how a lot of cultural groups are feeling threatend, and certainly genocide is real.We have very clear evidence of missing y chromosone groups, and the fact of all previous hominid species going extinct so it's not for nothing that people worry.

In 1900, the last confirmed wild bird was shot in southern Ohio.
