ImpactHigh impact
The widespread reinforcement of the article's message suggests a significant influence on public understanding and concern about biodiversity loss.
Abstract in brief
Recent studies reveal where vulnerable species live and how human activities are driving extinctions globally.
Most known species have small, concentrated ranges, making them more susceptible to threats, and their numbers are increasing.
Despite progress in establishing protected areas, these efforts often do not effectively conserve biodiversity, and extinction rates are currently about 1000 times the natural background rate.]
Multiple studies indicate the extinction rate is 1,000 times the background. Most of this directly attributable to the industrial era.

@ChrisMartzWX It’s true that species have always gone extinct, but the rate of extinction today is drastically higher than the natural background rate. Human activities—habitat destruction, pollution, climate change—are accelerating this. Here’s what the science says: https://t.co/BmodUxCiH1

@TyotoRiffle @Race2Extinct @TheEggShen @irish_organic @ProfTerryHughes I’m not against change either. But when it surpasses species’ capacities to adapt or to compensate for resource loss, it’s an issue.
Human-caused extinction is around 1,000 times the background rate and rising: that’s not ecologically insignificant…

@ClimSciJournal Marx wanted the people to seize the means of production. I want us to cease the means of production.
And no, the extinction rate of species is 1,000 times the background rate. Don't talk about pseudoscience... this was published in Science.
https://t.co/QfxYcuilM6
@squigglepigbong Meaning their estimates could be quite conservative.
If you are really into data, tell me why the rate of extinction is conservatively 1,000 times the background.

@ElmarMoelzer @Stevenwise58 @Karmageddon67 The extinction of species is now conservatively 1,000 times the background rate. The cause is habitat destruction. Any type of energy we use will just power the growth and human activities that necessitate habitat destruction.

@GlenIrvine1 @Svedjebruket @ECOWARRIORSS This is from probably the top science journal in the world. The authors admit this is on the conservative side of estimates (1,000 times the natural rate).

@Roger0Anderson @MatthewWielicki The rate of extinction is 100-1,000 times that of the background rate sans human impact:

Extinction is natural, but accelerated extinction is not. We're destroying the biosphere that supports us.
@8_christiansen @R1c24rd @ECOWARRIORSS And this, published in Science, one of the worlds most scrutinized publications, says the extinction rate is 1,000 times the natural background rate of the past 60 million years.
https://t.co/Msb4zpFX2d
@PaulSchuyler3 @ECOWARRIORSS The extinction rate of wildlife is 1,000 times greater than the background rate. You can’t have your industrial cake and a healthy planet too. That’s the arrogance and hubris. People always talk about balance but never are willing to have it.

@Mat_Defender @EarthChild_Twan @TonyClimate In summary, just because science is discovering new species rapidly doesn’t mean that speciation is rapidly compensating for extinction. It’s not.
Stuart Pimm has written for decades on this topic. He’s worth reading, including here:
https://t.co/Vqn7upectq
(7/n, where n = 7)
@elonmusk @ShellenbergerMD @ScottPelley @PaulREhrlich Omg we absolutely are living in a mass extinction with extinction rates 10-100x higher than background. Biodiversity loss is maybe as urgent as carbon emissions, and far more tragic.

Una "Extinción en Masa" es un proceso en el que la desaparición de especies es más rápida de lo que sucedería en condiciones normales (extinciones de fondo).
Algunos estudios estiman que esta tasa es 1.000 veces mayor de lo normal
