Dying Biodiversity

We are killing everything on the planet and don’t even realize that we are doing this. The problem is getting worse because the population is getting out of control. We are slowly increasing our resource use. We are also over fishing and destroying the environments important organisms live in. We are destroying the forests by strip cutting which also plays a role in erosion of the soil which prevents future tress to thrive because of the degraded soil. We are over fishing and seeing a decline in the bigger population of fish which will eventually lead to their extinction. We are the smartest organism on the planet but we can not find a way to help preserve the planet that we live on. Just because we are the most dominant species does not mean that we have killed everything that moves. Dinosaurs lived on this planet for millions of years and they did not kill everything that they came across. If we do not live in harmony and respect our planet soon there will be no planet to live on. What are we going to do when the biodiversity dies? Biodiversity is what keeps our planet going. However how can we ask people to care for our planet when they are barley surviving? Millions of people live in poverty today and you can not ask them to help do something when they are trying to receive the basic needs to survive; and yet even worse people that have money and do not have to struggle to survive still destroy their own body and then try and make everyone feel sorry for them later because they did not take care of themselves. The only way people are going to know what they are doing to the planet and the biodiversity is education. How people are suppose to help a situation when they know nothing about what is happening right out side their homes. With the standard of living going up areas are more crowded then ever before. Why is this when there is land out there that no one is living on. We need to spread out our population it is putting to much stress on the planet. we also need stricter rules on protected land and protected animals otherwise the problem will only get worse but I have not herd of any plan to start fixing it just ideas but actions speak louder than words so we have to act or life as we know it will cease to exist.
