I believe that his message is that people should do something in order to save the natural environment. He is talking about how due to human actions the natural world is falling apart - there are fewer and fewer species, they are becoming extinct, we are cutting down forests and woods and destroying our environment. He is implying we should stop this and actually do something to save the environment.

Explanation:

Read the 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 felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world 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.

What message does the author convey in this excerpt?

Humans need to take action to end further destruction of the natural environment.

In the coming years, humans will put forth stronger efforts to save plants and animals.

The extinction of plant and animal species is problematic in the Philippines and Ecuador.

In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
