Mankind caused environmental change is responsible for most of the die offs, that is not natural section at work.

Something I read recently suggests that 85 percent of all species are yet undiscovered, we only have cataloged 15%.

In addition, 50% of the Earth's BIOMASS is in soil, either underground, or in the soil of the ocean floor. Some of these simple organisms are referred to zombie organisms and may take up to a million years to split/divide.

Yes, something like 98% of all life which has even been on earth is now extinct (if I recall correctly), I'm in no rush to add to that list.
