Today scientists believe that we are entering the 6th Mass
Extinction. But unlike the previous five, this one will not take centuries to
unfold. In fact, it will take place in our lifetimes. As scientists begin to
realize the severity of the crisis and new worldwide assessments are made, the
news is difficult to believe. At least half of all plant and animal species are
likely to disappear in the wild within the next 30 – 40 years, including many
of the most familiar and beloved large mammals: elephants, polar bears,
chimpanzees, gorillas and the great apes, all the big cats, and many, many
others. Call of Life examines the collective and individual responses that will
be needed to mitigate the impacts of the mass extinction and makes clear the
critical choices we have before us. Unique among all human generations, those
of us alive today have been given a great opportunity: one last chance to
preserve the vitality and magnificence of the living planet that brought us
into being, and is our only home.
