Another report suggests mass extinction fears are exaggerated

Pound360 hopes they're wrong. They (the University of Toronto in one study, the University of Leeds in another, and the World Wildlife Fund in yet another) that say we're living through a mass-extinction, the "biggest mass extinction since dinosaurs" (said the WWF).

A while back, the Florida Museum of Natural History said previous studies exaggerated the risk of species loss in coming decades. And a new study, by Oxford University, agrees. (ScienceDaily) According to the report, species are handling habitat change really well. In one example, 97 percent of species survived in a West African region where 87 percent of the forest cover had been wiped out.

Great. Let's wipe out the remaining 13 percent.
