Chinese-led Team Identifies Duration of Mass Extinction 252 mln Years Ago[Sep 20, 2018]

A Chinese-led research group found that it took less than 30,000 years and perhaps only thousands for a massacre of over 90 percent of sea creatures and most land species about 252 million years ago. The study showed the duration of the end-Permian mass extinction was within about 31,000 years, essentially instantaneous by geological standards.

【Science】Space for Nature[Sep 18, 2018]

How much of the planet should we leave for other forms of life? This is a question humanity must now grapple with. The global human population is 7.6 billion and anticipated to increase to around 10 billion by the middle of the century. Consumption is also projected to increase, with demands for food and water more than doubling by 2050. Simply put, there is finite space and energy on the planet, and we must decide how much of it we're willing to share. This question requires deep consideration as it will determine the fate of millions of species and the health and well-being of future generations.
