UN Report Identifies Six Drivers of Mass Extinction
A United Nations report outlines five major causes contributing to a sixth mass extinction event. Key drivers include the expansion of human territories into wildlife habitats and the impact of massive hunting and safaris. The report also highlights the intrusion of invasive species, such as the American crayfish, which displace native populations. These cumulative effects are significantly altering global biodiversity, particularly on island ecosystems.
