The Effects of External Factors on Extinction
We're in the process of rampant biodiversity loss and full-blown extinction, mostly externally induced. There are no other species that radically induce ecological devastation and extinction across all ecosystems. And partly, we have the ability to migrate much better than other species.

That's a unique human capacity.
