The only difference is that the current extinction rate is entirely in the hands of one species, human kind. The hard work of lobbying governments to create protected wildlands and of purchasing private lands for conservation purposes always falls to the few. Some of those few are radical and attract headlines while others are conservative and work closely with business and government. In Canada, there are several premier conservation organizations that do this work. Please consider contributing to them.
