How sad is it that 1/5 of the worlds species will be extinct in 30 years? And nothing is being done. News media is a joke. Yet it can be one of our most powerful tools in the world. Turn it on and they will be sure to give you the weekly consumer saving tips, tell you about how the government isnt doing its job, or show you the latest thing a Kardashian posted on their twitter account. How many of you knew that the African Black Rhino has been announced extinct for several years now? From failed conservation efforts and poaching. Or 62% of the worlds reptiles are threatened or critically endangered? It may not seem like a big deal but they are essential to the worlds ecosystems. Roughly 0.2-0.6 percent of worlds species are lost yearly which is 10,000x greater than the natural estimated rate of extinction, and its steadily rising. A little food for thought there.
