40 years from now Earth will no longer have fish

Experts warn, life on Earth will reach the sixth extinction stage. Its predecessor was the fifth great extinction that led to the complete disappearance of dinosaurs.

>>>Sea fish are descendants of river fish?

The Earth has entered the period of permanent extinction of the biosphere, resulting in thousands of species being perished. That was the statement of Mr. Asok Khosla, Chairman of the International Association for Nature Protection (IUCN) during a meeting with Russian reporters in Moscow.

Every day about 100 species of organisms disappear cannot recover.

'We are witnessing the sixth major genocide taking place on the planet, like the fifth major genocide that killed the dinosaurs,' he said.

According to him, the biodiversity on the planet tends to decrease. Every day about 100 species of organisms disappear cannot recover. Currently 19.6 thousand species of plants and animals are - accounting for one third of all species on Earth - are on the verge of extinction.

In addition, every day due to fire and deforestation, there is a loss of 60 hectares of natural forest and about 20 hectares of land can be used for agriculture. The result is a phenomenon of erosion and fallow, many lands turned into desert.

By 2050, fish stocks will be exhausted - Mr. Aosok Khosla continues - The whole fishery industry will disappear.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Commission (FAO), the fish catches peaked in the early twentieth century. Shortly thereafter, it decreased by 15% and stabilized during the period from 1950 to 1975 and then gradually subsided.

In the coming time, some island nations may be sunk due to rising Pacific waters.

Now scientists divide natural history into five great genocide. The great genocide eventually led to the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The cause is not completely clear. Theories suggest that their extinction may be caused by meteorites falling from the sky, erupted by volcanoes, due to weather changes.
