Humanity is ‘cutting down the tree of life’, warn scientists
More than 300 mammal species have been eradicated by human activities, say researchers
Humanity’s ongoing annihilation of wildlife is cutting down the tree of life, including the branch we are sitting on, according to a stark new analysis.
More than 300 different mammal species have been eradicated by human activities. The new research calculates the total unique evolutionary history that has been lost as a result at a startling 2.5bn years.
Furthermore, even if the destruction of wild areas, poaching and pollution were ended within 50 years and extinction rates fell back to natural levels, it would still take 5-7 million years for the natural world to recover.
Many scientists think a sixth mass extinction of life on Earth has begun, propelled by human destruction of wildlife, and 83% of wild mammals have already gone. The new work puts this in the context of the evolution and extinction of species that occurred for billions of years before modern humans arrived.

There should be world-wide life imprisonment/death-penalty for poachers and traders in rare species.
There should also be jail-time for polluters. Fines are unacceptable.

‘Hyperalarming’ study shows dramatic loss of insects in pristine American tropical forest
A new report suggests the decline in invertebrate populations is more widespread than scientists realized. Huge numbers of bugs have been lost in a pristine national forest in Puerto Rico, the study found, and the forest’s insect-eating animals have gone missing, too.
Insects around the world are in a crisis, according to a small but growing number of long-term studies showing dramatic declines in invertebrate populations. A new report suggests that the problem is more widespread than scientists realized. Huge numbers of bugs have been lost in a pristine national forest in Puerto Rico, the study found, and the forest’s insect-eating animals have gone missing, too.

None of this stuff is enough to get people to change their lifestyle one iota, and certainly not enough to get our current government to do anything, and impossible to get the world to come together on.
It's kind of a shame, but we'll just adapt to whatever new circumstances the world gives us. It probably won't be as pleasant, but we'll figure it out.

Yeah, I did. Good guess.
Why don't you kill yourself? You seem like you live a miserable life filled with nothing but awful things occupying your mind. Just save yourself some time and get it over with. We all know where you're heading. You're never going to be happy
