Extinctions

Achim Steiner, head of the UN’s Environment Program, talks about the alarmingly high rate of extinctions going on:

The United Nations says the world is facing the worst extinction rate since the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago, a crisis that needs to be addressed by governments, businesses and communities.

The two-week meeting aims to prompt nations and businesses to take sweeping steps to protect and restore ecosystems such as forests, rivers, coral reefs and the oceans that are vital for an ever-growing human population.

Someone out there is saying, “So who misses dinosaurs?”
