World experts on biodiversity have warned that humans are forcing plants and animals into extinction faster than they are able to evolve. This is the first time this has happened since the extinction of the dinosaurs. Conservation experts are warning that we are entering the sixth great extinction that our world has seen. This comes from a various number of sources which includes hunting, destruction of habitats, alien diseases and predators, and climate change.It is only until recently that experts believed or hoped that the evolution of plants and animals could keep pace with the change and the decreasing amount of diversity of species. To be able to measure the rate at which species can evolve is extremely difficult but scientists are saying that there is no doubt that species are becoming extinct faster than they are able to evolve and that extinction is now inevitable.
This comes after the world was shocked to hear that extinction rates were between 100 and 1000 times greater now than they were before humans inhabited the earth in 2004.
