No, it says

100 to 1,000 times higher than the background extinction rate

both in the general intro and in the "Extinction rate" section, and

10 to 100 times higher than in any of the previous mass extinctions in the history of Earth

in the "Extinction rate" section (both verbatim quotes from its first sentence).
