It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for – the whole thing – rather than just one or two stars. David Attenborough

20121220-DSC_0429 By now we all know the statistics and trends: 90 percent of the large fish in the oceans are gone, there is ten times as much plastic as phytoplankton in the oceans, 97 percent of native forests are destroyed, 98 percent of native grasslands are destroyed, amphibian populations are collapsing, migratory songbird populations are collapsing, mollusk populations are collapsing, fish populations are collapsing, and so on. Two hundred species are driven extinct each and every day. If we don’t know those statistics and trends, we should. Jensen, Derrick; Keith, Lierre; Mcbay, Aric (2011-01-04).
