lavrentis Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 I think the damage was done years ago, there have been efforts in place to combat the decline of these animals and I think we will see their populations rise soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costock_Fox Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 I think the damage was done years ago, there have been efforts in place to combat the decline of these animals and I think we will see their populations rise soon Maybe in the developed world but what about places where Elephants are killed for their tusks and sharks killed for their fins. It's very sad but it's the way it is, if we can't stop humans from thinking it's right to behead someone then we aren't going to be able to stop them causing this.

DennisNedry Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 I think the damage was done years ago, there have been efforts in place to combat the decline of these animals and I think we will see their populations rise soon I don't know why you think the damage was done years ago, unless you're specifically referring to sport hunting of big mammals etc which has decreased. The main threat to wildlife from humans is habitat destruction which is only increasing more and more as the human population continues to explode.

johnny the fox Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 What an utterly selfish attitude: do you not have children? nope.. my choice.. sometimes having children can be an utterly selfish thing to do.. PS, if people stopped fookin breeding at the rate they are the planet might have a bit of a chance..... as I said the death of the planet is inevitable..

I can just imagine how my generation/the generation before me are going to be viewed by future generations when the likes of Gorillas and Tigers can only be found in books and film.

Guest MattP Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 What an utterly selfish attitude: do you not have children? Don't think it's selfish, just probably a correct call. Human vanity and greed knows no bounds. The only way you'll save the wildlife of Africa is by allowing poachers to be shot on sight and we all know that's never going to be allowed to happen.

There is going to be a hell of a lot of things our generation has done that will see us looked at with disgust by what what we leave here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The baby boomers of the previous generation and the children they have produced of this...I wonder what future generations will actually thank them for?

MooseBreath Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 The thing is, we've got so much control now that if we really wanted lions and shit, then we'd have them. I remember when all the vegan weirdos were banging on about trees being chopped down and how awful it was and how the planet would never recover. Then we started replanting trees and within a few years everything was fine. The same will happen here, if anyone really cares, we'll just figure out how to reignite the species and get them going again. All it will require is human will, whether in this generation or next, so if it doesn't happen then the existing generation at any one time have only got themselves to blame.

Rincewind Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 Nor mine. I will be long gone and I have no offspring. My only thought is that maybe my rotting decomposing corpse will enable some organism to thrive and then feed some animal in danger of extinction. Or thinking on the negative side - wipe them out all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phube Posted 30 September 2014 Share Posted 30 September 2014 I hate senseless slaughter and polution as much as the next (sane) person. But the planet has a few billion years left, and 'wild'life has about that too. Just us and the current crop of temporary residents are in danger. Over 99% of all species that have ever existed are now extint. I find humans to be a bit too melodramatic "we're destroying the planet" when we really mean "damaging of ecosystems".

True, but it's the speed of the current extinction crisis that is different. And it's the first time it's been caused by one other species, namely us.
