The sixth mass extinction is occurring now and is driven by human activity. Biodiversity loss can be measured by categorizing species based on extinction risk according to the Red List, but it can also be assessed at the ecosystem scale. The greatest threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, the spread of invasive species, and climate change.

The accidental introduction of the brown tree snake via aircraft (Figure \PageIndex4) from the Solomon Islands to Guam in 1950 has led to the extinction of three species of birds and three to five species of reptiles endemic to the island.
