Check out what's in the news: 27 Newly discovered species.

Too bad 147 species of plants and animals die every day thanks to humans. We are killing off the planet's population exponentially quicker then the last great extinction 65 million years ago.

Here's my source.

This is unprecedented. None of the previous extinction events were this lethal, or this quick. We are doing more damage than when a comet carved out the Yucatan and blotted the sun out of the sky. In 2002, E.O. Wilson predicted that at current rates, one half of all species on earth will be gone in a century. Previously, the Permian-Triassic was the worst extinction event in our planet's history; it ended 95% of all species that then existed, but it took nearly a million years to unfold. We are seeing half of that in mere centuries.
