With the novel COVID-19 outbreak wreaking havoc and forcing humans to retreat inside their homes, nature is starting to show after years of being scared away by human activities.

When the Coronavirus outbreak first shows, all we talked about is how the virus transfers from bats to humans, but have you ever thought that we have done worst to the animals than they do us?

Humans Have Destroyed 83% Of Wild Animals

Humans Cause The Sixth Mass Extinction Of Life

As humans demand more and more natural resources, logging, farming, and other developments have initiated what scientists called the sixth mass extinction of life.

In the last 50 years, we are thought to have wiped out half of the animals on the planet.

However, the situation is even bleaker than that. When comparing the biological diversity of Earth before and after humans became farmers, scientists revealed that only one-sixth of all mammals still remain.

After three centuries of whaling, now we only have one-fifth of marine mammals left.
