Current ExtinctionCurrent Extinction
• The current extinction is beginning to rival all of the last five extinctions.
• It is the first extinction in earths history that is cause by a biotic source instead of physical cause.

The Current StatsThe Current Stats
• We are currently losing 40,000-50,000 species a year
• That is roughly 137 a day.
• Since 1600, 83 mammals species and 113 birds have become extinct.

The First CauseThe First Cause
• The invention of Agriculture is the first cause of this problem.
• It let us become separated from other species.
• We changed the earth for our needs.

Domino EffectDomino Effect
• All species have an effect on each other
• If one species dies it could cause the co-extinction of another species
• Some species directly affect the health of hundreds of other species.

FencesFences
• Humans love to fence off space they say belongs to them.
• This stops animals from getting to needed food sources.
• Fences cuts off food sources for animals which leads to village attacks, which leads to more killing of animals.
