A long time ago, in a remote Japanese mountain village, the Yasha Pond on the mountain often burst its banks and flooded, endangering the villagers. This legend has been passed down from generation to generation. In modern times, only one old man still sticks to this legend and rings the bell on time. Before his death, the old man entrusted the task of ringing the bell to Akira Hagiwara, a young man who escaped from urban civilization. He and his wife Lily guarded the place and lived a simple and happy life. However, those people in the village who have lost their faith resent the lives of the two, and their violent actions seem to have gradually awakened the long-dormant Yashachi...

"New Yorker" reporter Elizabeth Colbert has personally experienced global ecological scenes one by one, interweaving three centuries of scientific knowledge and the latest ecological perspectives to draw an outline of today's world for readers: We are indeed living in an extraordinary era, and the sixth mass extinction of species has begun. There are thirteen stories. The American mastodons, great auks and ammonites mentioned in the previous stories have become extinct. This part mainly introduces the ancient mass extinction and its tortuous discovery process. Part Two lays out the realities of the present, in the increasingly fragmented Amazon rainforest, on the slopes of the rapidly warming Andes, and in the outer waters of the Great Barrier Reef. The scope of the great changes is so vast that with the right guidance, extinctions can be found anywhere. Finally, there is a story about an extinction that pretty much happened in my backyard-and maybe in yours at the same time. As the story progresses, readers can gradually realize, like scientists, that the source of the current round of mass extinction lies in humans themselves.
