I'm not referring to local shortages or distribution issues. I want to know what raw resources are simply no more and are completely gone.

I was not referring to animal extinctions. Species have been coming and going for millions of years.

Clean Water-there was a time when one could cup ones hand dip it in a lake,stream or river and drink and one would be refreshed and have ones thirst quenched. Certainly can't do that now. The Rain forests,Tropical Forests-approximately 2/3 are gone if not more with no way,method to bring them back. Tragic is that the land will not support farming for once the topsoil is used the lower soil is useless, ( See wwwecofuture.org) 90% of Wetlands are gone, 1500 varieties of rice have disappeared-all the rice that's produced comes from only one specific plant Numerous species of animals are extinct, species of songbirds and amphibians are disappearing at a alarming rate(frogs,lizards)
.and a large no of animals are nearing total extinction-elephants,lions-all the big cats esp Tigers----there's a very real possibility that our children will be alone---only humans and some insects will remain-its already being referred to as the age of Solitude. I can't imagine not having birds in my backyard hearing their song when I first wake in the morning. Sad,SAd the future of this world.---------------Bu then Jesus Christ will come and make it all OK that is the hope but still sad for in the meantime.

We have lost many animals (food resources) over the last 200 years. Whales may never recover. The dodo bird is extinct. In Europe there are no more sustainable forrests. In fact in North America only Maine, Washington and Oregon have sustainable forrest land.
BTW try the water outside of the US & Canada, it is unfit to drink.
As long as potable water counts as a resourse most of the world doesn't have any.

Many extinct species extinction has been directly related to the Eco system. If the ecological system of our planet is not a "raw resource" I don't know what is.

We may not run out of any raw resources in our lifetime, but if we don't conserve and recycle our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. ...... may. So, why take the chance. It only requires a little time and effort to recycle, keep our planet clean and green for future generations.

Nothing I can think of, but developed technology burns more resources more than anytime in history, and if we keep it up, we will run out eventually. Not in our time, possibly, but think of your kids and grand kids, you want your bloodline to suffer all there life? I don't expect you to understand.
