The sixth mass extinction differs from the past five primarily because it is driven by human activities, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of species. Unlike previous extinctions that were caused by natural events like volcanic eruptions or asteroid impacts, the current crisis is a result of anthropogenic influences that accelerate species loss at an unprecedented rate. Additionally, the current extinction event is occurring within a much shorter time frame, with species disappearing faster than ever recorded in the fossil record. This human-induced crisis poses significant challenges for biodiversity and ecosystem stability.
