Rewilding

IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE, whether bees, butterflies, and bullfrogs all disappear. And before you laugh at the idea, please note; that is exactly what's happening right now, the disappearance of these animal species, and many more as well. The research is in, all the numbers, the statistics. Ask any bee keeper, or biologist. Even more frightening, if all the bees disappear, we're doomed, because they pollinate all the plants that all animal species, including us, need to survive. Fortunately, we are dealing with the problem by raising more and more bees on bee farms, and setting them free, to pollinate the world. And thank goodenss we are doing this, until you remember that it was us who started the problem in the first place. Basically, all the kinds of plants and animals we have hounded into extinction, and again, there are many, must be brought back into existence, if we are to have a chance for survival. Otherwise, the whole ecosystem will collapse, and we with it. Fortunately, this is within the realm of human capability, to bring alive plants and animals that were long ago extinct. Thanks to cloning, its not only possible, its a reality. "Rewilding" refers to the process wherein species of plants and animals which have been driven off by mankind are reintroduced into their natural habitat, and a new wilderness is reborn, where it once was. Its already happening in Europe. Of course, this will requir much planning and cooperation on the part of us the human race, which, if you're living on the same planet I am, seems impossible and hopeless. But worldwide cooperation and planning on that enormous, global level; environmentally, economically, militarily, politically, seems absolutely necessary for our very survival, yet utterly impossible, given our collective behavioral tendencies. Let's face it, whether in small numbers or large, humans fight a lot. But that's becoming a luxury we can no longer afford. The projects of the future, of the present, are too enormous to accomplish without enormous work, and thus, group effort.
