"Published in the international journal Conservation Biology, the report is the first comprehensive review of more than 24,000 scientific publications related to conservation in the Oceanic region. Compiled by a team of 14 scientists, it reveals a sorry and worsening picture of habitat destruction and species loss. It also describes the deficiencies of and opportunities for governmental action to lessen this mounting regional and global problem.

"Earth is experiencing its sixth great extinction event and the new report reveals that this threat is advancing on six major fronts," says the report's lead author, Professor Richard Kingsford of the University of New South Wales."

It is so very sad when you hear those horrible words: That we will probably be facing our six extinetion on our planet. When everybody is working so hard to save the planet and all within it. It just makes me want to try harder when I can. The fact that it is Globle and Regional makes it all the more saddening.
