Extinction Times is a newspaper composed of the Obituaries of recently extinct species as a response to the increasing rates of extinction across the globe. There is debate as to whether we are in the midst of a sixth mass-extinction – some scientists agree we are, others believe we are approaching the tipping point. In any case, it is clear that life on Earth is being exponentially altered. 

The stories obituaries contain are vibrant. In aggregate, they create an archive of the richness of human experience. Extinction Times is a platform for crafting narratives that are both tragic and bright. It is a place for stories that celebrate the diversity of life on Earth, and to mourn its loss.
