About
This website aims to alarm about The Sixth Extinction that is currently happening right under our eyes. We are right into the beginning of a historical accelerated, widespread mass extinction which is scientifically proven to be caused by human development.
No machine learning, no big data, no blockchain, the title is a tongue in cheek joke about webpages such as This person does not exist or These Lyrics Do Not Exist.
The animals listed on this website are classified as Extinct or Extinct in the Wild. I understand that it can be a bit of a hyperbole saying that extinct in the wild animals no longer exist. I understand that there are reintroduction programs and some are very successful, but those are only a drop in the bucket in front of the massive drop in biodiversity we are currently living.
