Loss of Biodiversity and Extinctions

Many people whatches tv and some time there are some shows about Loss of Biodiversity and Extintiocns most of those people say "Who cares", but for example one of those people need some medicine and he/she don't understand that most of our medicine come from plants, many of which are now endangered.Then they think "Oh no I have to save the environment" when they realize that is already too late and maybe the specie is already extinct.

The extinction rate increased almost 1000 times from some decades ago. At this rate one-third to two-thirds of all species of plants, animals, and other organisms would be extinct during the second half of the next century.

This is a warning by the Director General James Leape of WWF posted in October 24,2006:

"...the demand people place upon the natural world — has increased to the point where the Earth is unable to keep up in the struggle to regenerate."..."We are in serious ecological overshoot, consuming resources faster than the Earth can replace them"..."It is time to make some vital choices".




We need to change this situation NOW!!!
