Humans are driving other species to extinction faster than new ones can evolve.

Conservation experts have already signalled that the world is in the grip of the “sixth great extinction” of species, driven by the destruction of natural habitats, hunting, the spread of alien predators and disease, and climate change.

It’s quite ironic to be the most intelligent species on Earth, yet not have enough brains to stop building on natural habitat, hunting for sport, introducing non-native species, and operating concentrated animal feeding operations.

Old news validated by new science.
