About this book

Language: French

What is the sixth mass extinction? In the long history of the Earth, there have already been five mass extinctions. Caused by natural phenomena, they have seen, every time, the disappearance of many species. The sixth extinction is happening right now, and sees the number of animal and plant species going extinct in an accelerated fashion... It startsed some 40,000 or 50,000 years ago, especially for large mammals, accelerating in the last millennium, even the last hundred years. Birds, rodents, big cats, furry, feathered, large and small, here's a surprising bestiary that shows, for each animal, a profile, its way of life, habitat and the story of its extinction . Each species tells us its story as a tale and is supported by large museum photographs showing their poetic and mysterious side. Through 70 ethnozoological portraits this book provides an overview of the many species that have disappeared from 50,000 years ago until today.

Summary in French:
Qu’est-ce que la sixième extinction ? Dans la longue histoire de la terre, il y a déjà eu cinq extinctions massives. Provoquées par des phénomènes naturels, elles ont vu, à chaque fois, disparaître de très nombreuses espèces. La sixième est actuelle, elle voit le nombre d’espèces animales et végétales s’éteindre de façon accélérée… Elle commence il y a 40 000 ou 50 000 ans, notamment pour les grands mammifères, et s’accélère au cours du dernier millénaire, voire ces dernières centaines d’années. Des oiseaux, des rongeurs, des grands fauves, à poils, à plumes, grands et petits, voici un surprenant bestiaire qui présente, pour chaque animal, sa carte d’identité, son mode de vie, son habitat et le récit de son extinction. Chaque espèce nous raconte son histoire comme un conte que viennent appuyer de grandes photographies muséographiques par leur côté poétique et mystérieux. À travers 70 portraits ethnozoologiques ce livre propose un aperçu des nombreuses espèces qui ont disparu depuis 50 000 ans et jusqu’à aujourd’hui !
