Scientists reckon anywhere between 150 and 200 species go extinct each day.

Work on the basis of a mean average of 175 a day this means we lose:-

1225 a week
5,308 a month
63,700 a year
And should I be lucky enough to live to the average age of a western male of 75 years then in my lifetime some 4,777500 species will be lost.

Just how barren will the land be we leave to future generations be?

Is it about time we woke up?

As usual, Mike, you not only give us a beautiful photo to gaze at, but also something intellectual to ponder.

Fantastic!

Beautifully caught, Mike. A stunning shot :clap:

Many folks have, but sadly not those in power.
My grandchildren's children may not be able to see the Tiger, Rhino & Elephant in the wild, only in Zoos.
And what with Climate Change, and no action there, who knows what the future will hold for them.
