What is “The Sixth Extinction”?

Scientists widely consent that human activity is accelerating the extinction of many animal species. A mass extinction might take many thousands of years to play out and we may not see its devastating outcome in our lifetime, but the current rate of extinction is 10 to 100 times higher than in any of the previous mass extinctions in the history of Earth. There is no dispute that humans are responsible for the elevated extinction rates we see now, will humans be the victim under our own bullets?
This animation aims to raise the awareness of animal protection, Different scenes are created to depict those human activities such as the destruction of habitats, the overhunting of animals, and the elimination of species that humans view as threats or competitors.
