Great. Another reason for gun nuts to reject science.

“There is still hope. Protecting nature needs focused conservation action, political will and support from industry.”
OH! Is that all? Then this should get done in no time. Political will, & support from industry is what’s been saving this planet from going into the crapper.

Most of the new losses were found in tropical regions, particularly Latin America.
The potential losses to the diversity of life in these regions could be far worse for the planet than we can know at present.
Maybe that Agent Smith motherfucker was right:
I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.
