摘要: The last centuries were marked by a steep increase of human population and the intensification anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems natural communities. Today, rate species extinction is almost two orders magnitude higher than background rate, may escalate one or further according to projections future extinctions. If realized, projected rates would be comparable during past mass This article looks at past, present, for critical discussion severity, potential risks, uncertainty associated with current extinction.
