Selection 19-The Current State of biological Diversity

In this selection Wilson explains how there are three circumstances to treat diversity more seriously as a global resource. First one is exploding human populations, second, science is discovering new uses for biological diversity that can relieve human suffering and environmental destruction, and third is alot of diversity is being lost and cannot be brought back caused by the destruction of natural habitats and so on. Are diversity is plumating downward, humans are altering the land, and our fishing availablities. We are harming the fisheries by overexploiting them and we need to stop it fast and soon.  Humans are using alot of carbon, water, nitrogen, synthetic organic chemicals, and fossil fuels. By releasing these chemicals in the ecosystem we are complicating cycles, therefore easier to mess up.  Although all these chemicals have some positive effect on our diversity, we need to modify the amount we are using, and how help to prevent future damage to our environment and the civilization on it.
