Each of us can take steps to improve our mental and physical health, and we are given foresight and reason to plan those steps well. Every day, we consume foods, take more medicines and use more industrial goods, many of which owe their production to the raw material of wild animals and plants. Thus our love of life takes its toll on others with us in the Ark. Dr Myers argues that we may be losing one species per day already ~ and that long before the year 2000 the rate could rise to one per hour. Must we contemplate such loss as a normal incident in the tides of evolution? Can we stop this destruction of diversity? We certainly have a responsibility to try.
