Disappearing Species
BackVisible Dangers associated with Disappearing Species- This entry focuses on both the environment and agricultural issues that affect various animal populations, and how their demise may prove untimely for the rest of us. By examining honey bees and bats as timely examples, I argue that now, more than ever, we need to protect the environment to work toward reversing the alarming rate of disappearance in animal groups in order to stabilize the biosphere and continue enjoying normal life.
