ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In Elizabeth Kolbert's "The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History," the author embarks on a global journey to investigate the unprecedented rate of species extinction occurring in our time. Through compelling narratives and scientific evidence, Kolbert reveals the devastating impact of human activities on Earth's biodiversity. She explores the history of past extinction events, like the demise of the dinosaurs, and compares them to the ongoing crisis driven by habitat destruction, climate change, and the spread of invasive species. Kolbert's investigation takes her to remote rainforests, coral reefs, and even the icy caves where bats are succumbing to a deadly fungal disease, illustrating the widespread nature of the crisis.
