Two recent researches find that species extinction, while still very real, may not be as bad as it's been thought, calculated, and reported to be. A report in the May 19th issue of 'Nature' says that calculations used for determining extinction rates have been flawed, resulting in overestimation that can be greater than 160 percent.
