The study, recently published in Biological Reviews by scientists at the University of Hawaii, suggests that rather than extreme natural phenomena, the latest round of extinctions is caused by human activities. According to him, the “denial” view is based on a biased understanding of the crisis, which focuses on mammals and birds, and ignores invertebrates, which clearly constitute the vast majority of biodiversity. When determining the estimates obtained for land snails and slugs, the study authors estimated that since 1500, the Earth could already have lost between 7.5 and 13% of its two million known species, a number that goes as high as 150,000 to 260,000 species, and the new study suggests that some people They also deny that the sixth extinction has begun. Moreover, others accept it as a new and natural evolutionary path, because humans are just another species that plays its natural role in Earth’s history. The researcher commented that “denying the crisis, accepting it without reacting, or even encouraging it, constitutes a breach of humanity’s shared responsibility, and paves the way for the Earth to continue its sad path toward the sixth mass extinction.”

The history of life on Earth has been marked five times by mass extinction events of biodiversity caused by extreme natural phenomena. Today, many experts warn that the sixth extinction crisis is underway.
“The dramatically increased species extinction rates and decreased abundance of many animals and plants are well documented, but some deny that these phenomena represent a mass extinction,” said Robert Coy, lead author of the study.
“The inclusion of invertebrates has been helpful in confirming that we are indeed witnessing the beginning of the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history,” Coy said.
The new study indicates that some People deny it too The sixth extinction has begun. Moreover, others accept it as a new and natural evolutionary path, because humans are just another species that plays its natural role in Earth’s history.
