Never Lose Hope

The worst thing is that we often don’t even realize what damage we’re doing or what we’re missing. Who knows what valuable products or medicines could have come from plants that are extinct because tropical forests were cut? What if we lose the pollinators of our fruits, flowers, and grains? How sad to lose any of the strange and wonderful plants and animals that enrich our lives with their beauty! Remember, too, that all living things have value, simply because they exist

IT’S NOT TOO LATE. We humans ought to be able to use our intelligence to solve the problems we have created.
