Read the following excerpt from E. O Wilson's 'The Environmental Ethic."
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020
unless better efforts are made to save them. . . As the last forests are felleddestroyed] in forest strongholds
like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world a as a whole,
extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They
cannot be balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
Why should we care? What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the
species on earth disappear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast
potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber,
fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never
come to light.
Based on the excerpt, which statement best summarizes the author's beliefs about the
disappearing species?
β’ The loss of plant species and habitats will lead to widespread animal extinction.
