Extinction Alert

Reminds you that species are going extinct — roughly once every 20 minutes.

Species are going extinct on our planet at an alarming rate – roughly once every 20 minutes. This is 100 to 1,000 faster than the background rate of extinction. In short, we are living through the sixth mass extinction in our planet's history. It's incredibly alarming, but easy for most of us to forget. This app helps make sure you don't. Approximately once every 20 minutes, you will receive an alert on your desktop, bringing your attention to another extinction. You can choose alert levels, to be more or less obtrusive, and toggle an alert chime off and on. Links to important information and organizations you can support to help limit the destruction are provided through the alerts. Keep this crisis on your mind. Keep it in your sight.
