Planetary Collapse Threatens Our Survival: A New Study Says That More Than 1,200 Species \u201cWill Almost Certainly Face Extinction\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are witnessing a worldwide environmental collapse, and nobody seems to know how to stop it.  As you will see below, a study that was just released that looked at more than 5,000 species of birds, mammals and amphibians discovered that nearly a quarter of them \u201cwill almost certainly face extinction\u201d.  Never before has our society faced such a massive collapse of life on a planetary scale, and yet the vast majority of the population doesn\u2019t seem concerned about what is happening.  Species after species is being permanently wiped out, and most of us couldn\u2019t care less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time for action is now.  According to this new study, over 1,200 species will soon be extinct unless dramatic action is taken.  The following comes from the Guardian<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 1,200 species globally face threats to their survival in more than 90% of their habitat and \u201cwill almost certainly face extinction\u201d without conservation intervention<\/strong>, according to new research.<\/p>

Scientists working with Australia\u2019s University of Queensland and the Wildlife Conservation<\/a> Society have mapped threats faced by 5,457 species of birds, mammals and amphibians to determine which parts of a species\u2019 habitat range are most affected by known drivers of biodiversity loss.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Once these species are gone, they will be gone forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember, this study from Australia only included larger creatures such as birds, mammals and amphibians.\u00a0 The situation is far more dire when we look at what is happening to the insect world.\u00a0 The following is an excerpt from my previous article entitled\u00a0\u201cInsect Apocalypse: The Global Food Chain Is Experiencing A Major Extinction Event And Scientists Don\u2019t Know Why\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
