The Sixth Extinction (by Elizabeth Kolbert)

"The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert examines how human activity—such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change—is causing a rapid loss of Earth's species, comparable to past mass extinctions. Kolbert highlights scientific evidence that many organisms are disappearing faster than ever before in human history, driven largely by our influence. The book emphasizes that this current crisis is unique because it’s primarily caused by humans, and urgently calls for awareness and action to mitigate this ongoing loss of biodiversity.
