Unexpected #biodiversity on the ocean floor
"We should be extremely careful with potential future deep-sea mining, as these unique species carry high #extinction risk."
Koala habitat - between logging sites and highways
"Motorists have struck and killed two koalas on a busy freeway, weeks after authorities rejected calls for a small colony living in a nearby plantation to be ferried to safety."
"When timber workers began felling trees at the site in December, animal advocates had warned the four marsupials living there faced a “death sentence”. Because the plantation was surrounded by bare paddocks, they predicted the koalas would be struck by a truck or car while fleeing to the closest forest which lies on the other side of the road....Dead koalas were found within 500 metres of the plantation."

Extinction Studies: Stories of Time, Death, and Generations
Extinction Studies focuses on the entangled ecological and social dimensions of extinction, exploring the ways in which extinction catastrophically interrupts life-giving processes of time, death, and generations. The volume opens up important philosophical questions about our place in, and obligations to, a more-than-human world.
An ancient species of great ape was likely driven to extinction hundreds of thousands of years ago. The species Gigantopithecus blacki, which once lived in southern China, represents the largest great ape known to scientists — standing 10 feet tall and weighing up to 650 pounds, APN News reports: https://apnews.com/article/extinct-great-apes-china-8b801514b7e58d08c54c0bbcfbc2f27f
How many species will Earth lose to climate change?
New study suggests that even under intermediate climate change scenarios, we could see the extinction of 3 to 6 million (or possibly more) animal and plant species within the next 50 years.
The loss of species can lead to a destabilization of ecosystems, and if not reversed, it can ultimately result in total ecosystem collapse.
#climate#chaos is making #india uninhabitable. We'll be hearing and reading more stories like this as the globe continues to heat up and threaten humans with #extinction. Yet we tread on like nothing's happening.
