    We’ve already killed roughly 40 percent of all animals since the 1970s, with an accelerating rate. Humans are the 6th mass extinction, the last being the asteroid that killed (most of) the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. We are the also the end of the longest stable period of bio diversity in the history of this planet.
