Endangered Species Act: Noah's Ark or Titanic?

Without nature, we're toast. We really need this to "sink in" before it’s too late. The mysterious collapse of bee colonies around the world threatens all the crops they pollinate. The alarming die-off of North American bats is wiping out a major insect predator that prevents our harvests from becoming bug food. The acidification and warming of the oceans undermines the survival of the corals and zooplankton that sustain the marine food chain.

We have to stop thinking of "nature" as something we visit while camping or watch on the Discovery channel. Nature purifies our water, pollinates our crops, regulates our climate, recycles our wastes and provides us with food, clothing, medicine and shelter. We can’t survive without it. Preserving biodiversity isn’t about saving charismatic creatures—it’s about saving ourselves.

So, has Endangered Species Act reduced the rate of extinction in the United States?

"Human intrusions like urban sprawl, deforestation, road and dam building, industrial agriculture, grazing, mining, oil drilling, over-fishing, marine pollution, and harvesting wild species for food, sport and profit all continue to shred the web of life that supports us."

Let me also share a quote off of our website's "Our Goals" page.....

"Endangered or threatened species are a warning sign to Mankind's own survival".
