When are we going to pay attention?

In a recent article in Granville magazine and article by Tyee Bridge caught our attention.

"So far, we've heard the human population worldwide has doubled since 1960, and, in a multitude of ways, that social injustice and ecological desecration are increasing at exponential rates. According to a Harris poll of thousands of conservation biologists at the American Institute of Biological Sciences, we've been told that humans are responsible for the greatest species extinction since the dinosaurs. We have been such a disaster for other animals that the Holocene, our current 10,000 year epoch, is now being referred to as the Sixth Extinction. We've devoured 90 percent of large ocean fish, and 90 per cent of African lions and elephants have been lost to poaching or habitat destruction; every species of tiger on the planet is on the "absolute edge" of extinction. About 30 species of plants and animals go extinct every day. At current rates, in the 65 years from 1980 to 2045, humans will have extinguished more species than have disappeared in the past 65 million years."
