A few days ago I wrote about the end days partly in jest. Today in another end days scenario, the BBC reports that the wildlife population is declining at the rate of almost 1% a year. From 1970 to 2005 the population declined more than 25%.
Of course, world leaders signed the Convention on Biodiversity in 1992 and agreed in 2002 to reduce the loss of the wildlife population significantly by 2010. But, hey, what can you do about pollution, expansion of farms and cities, over-fishing and hunting?
We get the leaders we deserve.
