Scientists React to the Rising Extinction of Mammals
Today marks a sad day for scientists around the world as a study conducted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reveals that nearly 1,000 species of mammals are now extinct. Scientists have expressed shock and dismay at the findings, with some calling it a “catastrophic blow to biodiversity” and a “stark reminder of our collective failure to protect our planet’s wildlife”. The extinction of these species is linked to human activities such as habitat loss and hunting, as well as climate change. Scientists are now calling for urgent action to protect the remaining wildlife on Earth and to prevent further extinctions.
