It would be difficult
to argue that humans are not THE invasive species when considering earth’s
wellbeing and equilibrium.
Earth for all its diversity and five well recorded
extinctions, is well advanced in harbouring is sixth extinction.
Humans, that’s you and me, are driving this extinction as
explained by The Huffington Post in its
story headed: “World on brink of sixth great extinction, species disappearing faster than ever before”.
Writing in her new book, “The Sixth Extinction: An unnatural history”, Elizabeth Kolbert discusses the previous five mass extinctions and then
turns her attention to the sixth extinction in which the cataclysm is us.
