Thank you for visiting Doomsday Ark
My name is Jasmyne Gosnell, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to Doomsday Ark.
Our mission, as a grassroots environmental organization, is dedicated to protecting our planet with the direct participation and support from people like yourself.
We educate and provide solutions to the alarming effects of what human activity is having on the earth. For example, we know of approximately 1,000 species that have gone extinct in the past 500 years, from the woodland bison of West Virginia and Arizona’s Merriam’s elk to the Rocky Mountain grasshopper. Over half of the worlds remaining populations of animal species have disappeared since 1970. Habitat destruction caused by humans has resulted in one third of all life on Earth now being threatened or endangered, and this doesn’t take into account the thousands of species that disappeared before scientists had a chance to describe them.
This is especially more disturbing when considering the greatest danger to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. That's why we need everyone to get involved, for each of us has a role to play in saving and protecting the life on our planet —including our own life.
