| The flora and fauna dying today have had the past 65 million years to evolve into their present forms. It could take another 65 million years for comparable species to evolve once the present-day versions have been wiped out. We seem to have declared war on nature by completely disregarding wildlife and their migratory patterns, for instance, when designing roads. Roads are now a part of most animal's "natural" habitat necessitating an evolutionary adaptation. Some of the fauna pictured here failed to adapt in time and have suffered the evolutionary consequences. We are demolishing our most unique resource, planetary diversity. Loss of habitat is the primary cause and the solution is to value nature just like we do any resource and acknowledge the elemental role it plays in our lives.
