Welcome to Extinction of Species .ORG

Welcome to Extinction of Species .ORG - the website dedicated to saving species from extinction - and in the process, saving ourselves and planet Earth! Please join us and participate. Publish, blog, translate, learn or teach - once you join you can create your own personal space on this site, and write or comment on anything you like. You can join groups of special interest and you can contact other members publically or privately. Extinction of Species .ORG wants to prevent all species from going extinct, and believes that the best way to save the planet is by saving its myriad species. As long as the tiger, lion, whale, bear, wolf, songbird, hummingbird, panda, leopard, jaguar, elephant, manatee, gorilla, rhino, eagle, condor, baboon, dolphin, sea lion, seal, hippo, cheetah, mountain lion, polar bear, humpback whale, camel, and all the other species survive; then planet Earth will support human life and continue to nurture life of all kinds, races, species and genome. Saving other species is not only the best way to save Humanity, Human Civilization, and our quality of life - it's the only way in the long term. Click on the "Read more" links at the bottom of each snippet to read each complete article, and find out why this is so. Time is of the essence, and Extinction is Forever if we're not in Time!

Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn - 2025

The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming.

Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

But countries have continued to burn record amounts of coal, oil and gas and chop down carbon-rich forests - leaving that international goal in peril.

Climate change has already worsened many weather extremes - such as the UK's 40C heat in July 2022 - and has rapidly raised global sea levels, threatening coastal communities.

"Things are all moving in the wrong direction," said lead author Prof Piers Forster, director of the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures at the University of Leeds.

"We're seeing some unprecedented changes and we're also seeing the heating of the Earth and sea-level rise accelerating as well."

These changes "have been predicted for some time and we can directly place them back to the very high level of emissions", he added.

Tropical forests destroyed at fastest recorded rate in 2024

The world's tropical forests, which provide a crucial buffer against climate change, disappeared faster than ever recorded last year, new satellite analysis suggests.

Researchers estimate that 67,000 sq km (26,000 sq mi) of these pristine, old-growth forests were lost in 2024 – an area nearly as large as the Republic of Ireland, or 18 football pitches a minute.

Celtic rainforest facing species extinction crisis - 2025

Temperate rainforest, seen here in the Vale of Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, is found in areas subject to the influence of the sea

An "extinction crisis" is happening in Britain's temperate rainforests where some of the world's rarest mosses, lichens and liverworts are vanishing, ecologists have warned.

Also known as Celtic rainforests, temperate rainforests are found primarily along the UK's western coasts.

In 1964, Jane Goodall's husband Hugo van Lawick took a photo of her and an infant chimp reaching out to each other. Decades later, it continues to impact how we view chimpanzees.

When hungry elephants and people clash in a village

When hungry elephants and people clash in a village - human overpopulation and overdevelopment = destruction and loss of habitat which drives species to extinction.

An elephant prepares to "mock charge" the CATS Elephant Response Team's vehicle as the team attempt to drive it away from the town of Livingstone and back towards the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

An elephant eyes the Elephant Response Team's vehicle as the team attempt to drive the animal away from the town of Livingstone in Zambia and back toward Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

 

The emergency call comes in just before midnight. In the driver's seat of a battered Toyota Hilux pickup truck, 29-year-old Chamunolwa Jimayi chats briefly with the caller. He hangs up the phone and shouts to his two colleagues in the back to hold on tight, then shoots off at high speed through the city center, careening around the traffic.

"Pronatilism" Debunked!

Some misguided people, today, who may call themselves "pronatalist", and who look at future predictions of negative population growth (meaning that population will decrease in the future, instead of continuing to increase), and see this as a problem, are wrong or are not thinking clearly. Some of them may believe that African and Arab and Asian populations are in the process of "replacing" or at least are overtaking the Caucasian, European-based ethnicities that have traditionally been the majority of the population in countries like the US, the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; and they are right - this is indeed happening, as is the Hispanicization of the US population because of such massive immigration. And they are right to be concerned about this. In a century there may be no nations left on Earth where Caucasians of European ancestry are the majority of the population if immigration is not stopped. And this is a problem. There will be African majority countries, Asian majority countries, Arab majority countries, Hispanic majority countries, but there will not be any Caucasian of European ancestry majority countries left if we do not take action now.
