Mass Extinction Number 6: The End of Our Time on Earth is a sobering and powerful exploration of the ongoing ecological collapse unfolding in the 21st century—a catastrophe not caused by an asteroid or supervolcano, but by us. In the tradition of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, Ronald Baldwin brings a unique blend of investigative clarity, emotional urgency, and narrative power to this stark warning about humanity’s role in triggering the sixth mass extinction event in Earth’s history.

Through a series of compelling chapters, Baldwin chronicles the critical tipping points that have led to a planet in peril:

• The destabilization of ecosystems
• Climate change accelerating beyond natural cycles
• Ocean acidification and dead zones
• Mass deforestation and desertification
• The collapse of insect, amphibian, and avian populations
• And the greed-driven exploitation of Earth's final resources

But this isn’t just science—this work humanizes the cold statistics. It reveals a stark future—one in which Earth may survive, but humanity may not.

Why This Book Matters Now:

We are not only witnesses to the Sixth Mass Extinction—we are its cause. More than a million species face extinction in the coming decades. Glaciers are vanishing, coral reefs are bleaching to bone white, and forests—the lungs of the Earth—are going up in flames. As this book illustrates, this isn't some far-off dystopia. It’s already happening.

With urgency and passion, Baldwin calls for listeners to awaken from complacency, to resist fatalism, and to face the truth: we are out of time to prevent extinction. But perhaps we are not out of time to act with courage, compassion, and clarity in the face of
