Every day about 100 species of flora or fauna become extinct on this planet.
It's the greatest rate of extinction since the demise of the dinosaurs.
Who's causing this extinction? We are !
Who can prevent, or at least slow down, this extinction? We can.
The prospect of living on a planet without wild animals makes me rather sad,
not only for myself but for future generations.
Having travelled and seen a lot of these creatures in the wild makes me appreciate
how lucky I am, and what a tragedy it would be to lose them.
If we lose the rich diversity of animals and their habitats we may never get them back.
Do you want your children to live on a planet with no forests, no animals, only people?
Maybe you can help . . . .
