The number of species that will become extinct before 2100 is calculated

Scientists have calculated how many species of mammals could disappear from Earth before the end of this century.They

focused on how mass extinctions occurred in the past.

According to scientists, 550 species could follow in the footsteps of mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.However, humans still have a chance to save some species.Effective environmental strategies need to be developed.

The researchers, in general, have concluded that humanity is fully responsible for the extinction of mammals in recent decades.Computer simulations have shown that the rate of extinction will only increase by 2100.What happened in past centuries is only "the tip of the iceberg," he writesBBC.

Scientists say that the impending mass extinction will be the sixth in the history of the Earth.
