Previous Post According to several scientists, Earth is on the brink of a mass extinction of species including flora and fauna, mainly because of the human activity. This is a serious case or is all about propaganda released by the new world order? Which is finally the truth? We are all familiar with the theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs took place 66 million years ago. According to this theory, an asteroid crashed into Earth and led to the extinction of a vast proportion of living beings. On the contrary, few know that another 5 times in the past, life on the planet came very close to extinction. A 6th mass extinction? According to studies, biologists have recently contacted, we have already embarked on the 6th mass extinction of species. Undoubtedly, this particular time, the imprudent human activity is responsible. The disappearance of a large number of species living on the planet has been uncontrolled. Indeed, various animal species disappear 100 times faster compared to the pre-industrial revolution era. “This is a biological extermination that happens globally, although the species in which these populations still exist somewhere on Earth,” explains one of the authors of the study, Rodolfo Ntirzo, Professor of biology at Stanford University. Furthermore, researchers have designed a map which depicts the geographical distribution of 27,600 bird species, amphibians, mammals and reptiles, a sample that represents almost half of the known land vertebrates. Scientists also analyzed reductions in populations in a sample of 177 species of mammals, from 1900 until 2015. All of these 177 mammals have lost at least a 30% of their territories and more than a 40% have lost more than an 80% of their residence. In addition, mammals of South and Southeast Asia have been significantly affected: indeed, all the species of large mammals have tested have been tasted lost more than 80% of their region, according to researchers’ report with a statement accompanying the study. Approximately only a 40% of mammals -including rhinos, orangutans, gorillas and numerous large mammals – survive longer losing only a 20% or less of the lands used to dwell before. The reasons are: -destruction of forests which have been converted into croplands, – the introduction of new species in virgin habitats impairing the balance, -greenhouse gas emissions and particularly carbon dioxide causing climate change and ocean acidification, – and the introduction of toxins that altering and poison the ecosystem. The studies warn that there is a danger not only the flora and fauna of the planet but soon even the man would find himself in a precarious position in terms of survival. Although the 6th mass extinction theory, is quite controversial, if we consider Earth as an inexhaustible source of funds and a huge dump for our waste, additionally, if we consider other species only in terms of what they can provide, then we continue to dissolve the fragile tissue of life. This problematic attitude not only increases the risk Earth to stop evolving the way we know but also reduces the diversity and the beauty of life. Is all about our own home, in other words, the unique dwelling to us throughout the universe. Fifth mass extinction occurring the recent years has led to an increasing diversity. Could this happen again? It seems that Yes, since the appearance of new animals and plants is unusually high, and probably higher than ever. We are already on the verge of ‘sixth mass Genesis’, subsequently, people will end up with more species, not less. This change is ultimately the way in which species survive and converted into new species. History cannot be changed, but people have a responsibility to realize the substantial way nature works and act about it. “Planet Earth: An endless dump?” This article have information you may find interesting .
