Countdown to Extinction
National Geographic: Countdown to extinction: Last one
“In the United States as elsewhere, stopping the countdown to extinction means preserving healthy habitats—the aim of the celebrated and scorned Endangered Species Act.”
“We have no way of guessing how long our own kind will survive, but one thing is certain. The better the chances of survival for the plants and animals and insects—and for all their endangered kin—the better our own chances will be.”
