The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Having said that, I say, every effort to save what we have left is worth trying. Let's do all we can to protect every bit of nature left to us after we've paved over most of the world with concrete. I had a talented friend make me a stuffed pocket gopher a few years ago when I learned of their scarcity. Once the gophers, frogs sparrows, larks and other critters are gone, they're gone forever. We can put their stuffed remains in museums to look at and mourn, but their habitat loss can't be rebuilt without them. Our world is a lesser and sadder place without the beauty of the natural landscape that we all write poetry and songs about. Let's protect whatever we can while we still have time.
