Reply to "Age of Extinction"

Sue 1Member

We are losing species at 10,000 times the natural rate-a loss of life so great that we've entered the sixth greatest mass extinction in the Earth's history.

When the environment changes faster than life can adapt, extinction is inevitable.

The present danger comes from the anihilation of the tropical forests, which house a rich variety of animals and plants than any other place on the planet.

As of 2005, some 14.8 million of acres of primary, untouched forest are felled every year-taking with them species we'll never get the chance to count.
