is it worth conserving a species if it can't survive in the wild? will the background rate of extinction ever return to what it was? #ees028#6thextinction@ElizKolbert
Are the species that are facing extinction concentrated around industrial setting or are they in random areas along the globe ? This would further support the theory that human activity is a direct line to these devastations. #6thextinction#ees028@ElizKolbert
We would like to see a data set of Human to Mammoth population in order to see the effects on the Mammoth population post human interaction. #ees028#thesixthextinction
The most devestating extinction was the at the Permian period which almost wiped us out entirely. The Cretaceous period however was the most recent extinction that wiped out all the “dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs,the ammonites, and the pterosaurs” #6thextinction#ees028
It’s interesting how children can learn and understand the complex concept of extinction when explorers and academics in the 1700’s couldn’t even wrap them around their heads! #6thextinction#ees028
It is our responsibility to minimize our intervention with altering the homes of the animals who live within the forests. We are not only putting our lives in danger, but we are also disrupting the wildlife that lives within these ecosystems.
