Species Alliance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2005. Our mission is to raise public awareness of the impending mass extinction and the threat to Earth's life support systems due to this loss of biodiversity. Through our films and other media, website, and outreach, we seek to ignite a new sense of community empowerment and purpose, in order to stimulate creative and effective changes in public policies and human behavior that will assure a healthy future for all life on Earth.



The world is changing radically, at lightning speed, on every level. We face a host of urgent problems - terror, poverty, illness, hunger, and war. Yet there is another newly emerging threat that makes these and every other human crisis pale in comparison: Life itself is vanishing. All over the world, animal and plant species are disappearing at an unprecedented and alarming rate. This accelerating loss of life has become so acute that scientists are now calling it a mass extinction event. Experts predict that half of all species on Earth may become extinct within the next 50 to 100 years. No one can know for sure what this will mean for humanity, but the implications are shocking - and difficult to accept.
