Read the following excerpt from EO 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 (destroyed) 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.
Why should we care? What difference does it make it 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 dicappearing species?
The loss of plant species and habitats will lead to widespread animal extinction
• The loss of plant species and habitats will lead to environmental problems in remote regions
