A special thanks to Rosie for sharing with me an article from the Independent last Monday. The article focuses upon a paper published in the journal Nature at the beginning of this month on Mankind unleashing the sixth mass extinction.
Article available here:

The article provides a brief overview of the Nature paper mentioning the previous mass extinctions, evidence for the sixth mass extinction, and what the future may hold. The article ends by stressing that there is hope if we act now.
The paper published in Nature will be the focus of my next post and provides a fantastic overview of the sixth mass extinction.
