Dr. Liam Heneghan on the recent UN report regarding species extinction

The UN species extinction report may be consequential for humans, too

Liam Heneghan, professor of environmental science and studies at DePaul University explains both the human and non-human implications of the current ecological crisis regarding species extinction. Last week, the United Nations (UN) published a report, finding that over 1 million plant and animal species are currently at risk for extinction, and that this risks will only increase with the influence of anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation caused by human activities.
