E.O. Wilson writes: "Except for giant meteorite strikes or other such catastrophes, Earth has never experienced anything like the contemporary human juggernaut. We are in a bottleneck of overpopulation and wasteful consumption that could push half of Earth's species to extinction in this century. Humanity must make a decision, and make it right now: Conserve Earth's natural heritage, or let future generations adjust to a biologically impoverished world."
