64. Avoiding a sixth mass extinction is a weak case for conservation (John Wiens)
February 27, 2026 · 40 minBiodiversity loss is an ongoing challenge, but some of the language we use to describe it may be on shakier ground than we realize. Are we really living through a “sixth mass extinction”? What does that phrase technically imply, and how…
