Help Species Alliance
produce this history-making film and be part of the effort to avert the mass
extinction!
WHAT IS THE MASS EXTINCTION?
Right now animal and plant species are disappearing at an unprecedented
and alarming rate, as much as a thousand times faster than normal. Habitat
loss, global warming, pollution, and other factors are causing an accelerating
loss of biodiversity so acute that scientists are now calling it a mass
extinction event, comparable to the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65
million years ago. If current trends continue, within the lifetime of a child
born today, half of all species on Earth will become extinct. Mass extinction
threatens the fundamental biological systems necessary for all life. No one
knows what this means for humanity, but the implications are shocking‹with
the potential loss of human life in the billions. The good news is that we
still have a chance to avert the worst of the crisis‹because human activity
is causing it, we have the power to stop it‹but we must begin now.
You can help create awareness and inspire action through your support of
Species Alliance and Call of Life. This is perhaps the greatest challenge
humanity has ever faced‹yet most people have not even heard about it! Call
of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction tells the story of a crisis in nature
and in human nature. The film examines the ways in which we respond to challenge
and unprecedented change in our world, and suggests that we have been given
a great opportunity: one last chance to save the wealth of our planet, not
only for ourselves, but for all future generations. Join Species Alliance
in this amazing adventure‹with the future of life itself in the balance.
