Saving living diversity in the face of the unstoppable 6th mass extinction: a call for urgent international action

The global scale and impact of current and increasing human population size is incompatible with the survival of biological diversity and the 6th mass extinction cannot be stopped. For the vast majority of species we have neither the knowledge of when they will go extinct nor the capacity to find o...
