The Silent Crisis: Earth's Battle Against Extinction

"The Silent Crisis: Earth's Battle Against Extinction" In 1970, the World Wildlife Fund published research that suggested the Earth could sustain a population of three and a half billion people. Fast forward to today, New Year's Day, and the global population stands at a staggering 8 billion. This exponential growth has put immense pressure on our planet's ecosystems, leading to a crisis of mass extinction on a scale unseen since the age of dinosaurs.
