Although we don't know if/when the magical creatures disappeared, we still have legends about them (seeing as we're discussing this), and legends are always more magical than proven fact. Once their existance, lifestyle, evolution and whatnot has beein studied and learned they become ordinary. So here you go - the truly magical ones are still around.

If any survive, god forbid that they should be discovered and bred, in my opinion. They should be left alone, and hidden. I don't think they'd appreciate being watched over day and night. And as I was saying before, when legend becomes fact it is no magical story but plain history, and it loses the touch.

This is one big contradition: if you want magic to survive, you have to stop research and scientific and technological development, but you want to use these very means to regenerate the magical creatures.

It is depressing, but we humans are the most dangerous and destructive animal on this Earth. While we make beautiful things, we also destroy many more beautiful things at the same time.
Aye.
