Live and Let Live

I completely agree with Dr. Singh's idea of "live and let live". I don't think there's a whole lot we can do about the explosion in the human population, but I do think there are ways to live together with nature and the natural habitats of native species without completely destroying them. We shouldn't be destroying the entire Earth, simply because we are the most intelligent, most advanced, most adapted species. National parks, protected wilderness areas, and preservation of species through animal rehabilitation programs are fantastic ways to keep natural habitats and those animals that live there alive. I only hope that the rest of the world will establish national parks or preservation areas as the United States has done so well. I believe that there are many areas, especially in the United States, that are completely overpopulated, so many of those areas have lost native species and natural habitats. But what about the rest of the country? Places like L.A. and New York and Chicago are only popular because so many people live there. I think that we could better use the land in vast open areas like Kansas and the mid-West for human development, rather than destroying more habitats around those around already heavily populated cities. Seriously- no one lives in Nebraska or Kansas- why can't we live there???
I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with growth of the human population. Growth will happen; it's totally inevitable. However, the exponential growth we're facing now is completely out of control, and we are destroying one hundred times more than we are conserving or preserving regarding natural habitats and resources alike. I only hope that we can save those endangered and threatened species now that we see the major problems we've created that hinder their natural existence. :(
