Deforestation is obliterating hundreds of species of plants, insects and birds that in my opinion we should be equally concerned about. Some biologists claim that currently, the rate of species extinctions is 100 to 1000 times greater than the historic background rate, and that we are on the verge of the <A HREF="http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4797" REL="nofollow">6th mass extinction</A> in the history of our planet - all because of human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and over-intensive agricultural practices.An Apple Per Day...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10261920154617793158noreply@blogger.com
