Saving Species
By the year 2025,
one-fifth of all species presently on Earth may be extinct.
Our
planet is facing unprecedented species extinction at the hands
of a single species - humans. In 1996, 25% of the world's mammal
species and 11% of bird species were at significant risk of total
extinction. We are currently experiencing one of the fastest mass
extinctions in the planet's 4.5-billion-year history, referred
to as the "Sixth Extinction."
The Calgary Zoo,
its members and visitors are helping to reverse this frightening
trend. You can join the battle to restore endangered species and
their habitats by exploring the initiatives taking place at the
Centre for Conservation Research.
