Please, please, please hold…

Please, please, please hold the line on endangered species. I have just heard call of a Whippoorwill at night beside the meadow. They are endangered. I never heard one before, only read about them. We have lost so many species as the researchers confirm, so many plants, animals and birds.

I am so ashamed of my species that we have so little regard for living inhabitants of the natural world. Ashamed and grief-stricken. We ourselves cannot survive if we continue to make our comfort, convenience and profit the highest priority rather than cleaning up our pollution mess and protecting what is left.

Humans have brains and can adapt their behaviour to prevent egregious harm that wipes out habitat and thus so many other residents of the planet.

Thank you.
