Sixth Mass Extinction: Earth Faces Catastrophic Loss of Species
40 Species at Risk by 2050
The world is facing a sixth mass extinction, a catastrophic loss of species that could rival the five previous extinctions in Earth's history. Some scientists suggest that nearly 40 species could be extinct as early as 2050.
Critically Endangered Species
Several animal species are critically endangered and close to extinction, including specific types of whales, sharks, and elephants. This includes the white rhino, with only about 20,000 remaining in Africa and classified as Near Extinction.
Hope for the Elusive Vaquita
Despite the grim outlook, there is still hope for some species. The elusive vaquita, a small porpoise, has only about 10 individuals remaining. However, scientists believe there is still a chance to save this critically endangered species.
