    Rates of species extinction are so high that some scientists have categorized the current era as Earth’s sixth mass extinction event. In last month’s most popular post, Kathleen Mogelgaard explains that a new study indicates, of all the human factors related to this biodiversity loss, population growth and density may be the strongest. Popular new additions also include a review of former Wilson Center Fellow Jeff Colgan’s Petro-Aggression; the launch of research on urbanization, demography, and climate change adaptation; the UN Foundation’s Alaka Basu on Friday Podcasts talking about re-thinking women’s empowerment; and a brief from the China Environment Forum on China’s distant water fishing fleets.
