an editorial, via the Ecological Citizen

Here's a recent editorial worth reading and pondering.

From the introduction: 

"The human enterprise is eradicating non-human life on Earth. The WWF’s

Living Planet Report 2016 reveals that,worldwide, wildlife populations declined

by 58% between 1970 (itself too late for a proper base year) and 2012, with the

expectation that this decline will reach 67% by 2020 (WWF, 2016). In Canada, my home,

the situation is similar: half of 903 species monitored saw population declines over the

same period, and the average for half of these was a population loss of 83% (WWF-Canada,

2017). ... As I write this, reports show that bird populations in the French countryside have

declined there by more than a third in just the past 17 years – a situation described by

conservation biologists as 'catastrophic' (Geffroy, 2018).
