Review for Environmental Defense Fund, New York, NY, USA
EDF does what is needed to preserve the flora and fauna of our only world against those who would despoil the planet for greed and profit. As the world's population increases, there will continue to be pressure on finite resources which cannot be replaced. Whole animal species are becoming extinct due to the activities of man and continuous and concerted efforts are needed to preserve what remains.
Africa is suffering from overpopulation and drought which is causing pressure on animal species that are being hunted and poached for "bush meat" and their body parts. Large areas of the Amazon rainforest are being destroyed for timber, mining, and grazing land for non-native species. The rainforest is an essential component of our climatic ecosystem and will lead to disastrous consequences for future generations if not controlled.
Physicist Stephen Hawking estimates that the human species will not last for another hundred years at the rate we're despoiling the planet through wars and exploitation.
