Have any Whale Species gone Extinct?
No.
While whaling has caused many species of whales to become endangered, there have been no modern whale species that has gone extinct. Unfortunately while whaling has been outlawed in most countries many species are still in danger due to over fishing and some illegal whaling ships.
There are many groups that have taken actions against groups that participate in illegal whaling. Most visible of these groups is the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society which is featured in the popular TV series "Whale Wars"
