Extinction is not just a scientific concept. It is an emotional reality. Each species lost represents a unique evolutionary history that will never be repeated. It carries intrinsic value, independent of its usefulness to humans. This debate is not merely semantic. Words shape perception, and perception shapes action. Calling the crisis a mass extinction underscores its severity and urgency. At the same time, acknowledging that we are in the midst of the process, rather than at its conclusion, emphasizes that there is still time to change course. https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/the-6th-mass-extinction-are-we-currently-living-through-it
