Today, we may be losing 30,000 species a year – a rate much faster than at any time since the last great extinction 65 million years ago that wiped out most of the dinosaurs. If we continue on this course, we will destroy even ourselves. – American Museum of Natural History For last two centuries, general living conditions and human well-beings have significantly
