SIXTH EXTINCTION
A project about the impact of humans on nature

From the Palaeozoic era 440 million years ago to this day, our Earth has gone through five extinctions, and is now plunging, as indications show, to its sixth.This is a new epoch we have entered.It began in the dawn of the Industrial revolution.In just a handful of centuries, we altered the ecosystem more than we ever did in the previous 2.4 billion years. Like careless, carefree children we made Earth our playground without considering the impact.

We are starting to consider it now.

The Five Extinctions theory is awakening us to the fact that humans might not survive 
this time around and one just has to look at the signs indicating a grim reality.
