Our modern era of the anthropocene has had a hand in many of the ecological changes in the biosphere of the earth. Many of those changes are notably damaging to the environment based on the standards for pollution, genetic and species diversity, and gloabal climate change. People are very people-centric in the concerns about and research of these impactful and virulent changes. Often, the first things we notice are the ones that affect us the most, which is sensible considering that to notice changes that don't affect us, we have to be actively searching for the affects in the environment, which we might not do unless we have already seen that changes are occurring. This however is a very irresponsible way to gage humanity's impacts on the world. We have the specialization and resources to actively seak the effects of environmental degredation and climate change, and when we use them, the severity of the changes are revealed. Specifically when it comes to extinction rates and species diversity, the changes are astronomical. We have seen two major mass extinctions in the world so far, and now we are entering into a third.
