"Extinction, or the disappearance of an entire species, is commonplace.
Species have been forming, persisting and then shuffling off their
mortal coil since life began on Earth. However, evidence suggests the
number of species going extinct, and the rate at which they disappear,
is increasing dramatically.
Our recent work suggests that the rate at which species are going
extinct may be many times higher than previously estimated — at least
for birds. The good news, however, is that recent conservation efforts
have slowed this rate a lot."
