Never have birds, animals, plants, and other organisms vanished from the face of the earth as fast as they are now becoming extinct. Scientists attending this year's International Botanical Congress estimate within 100 years between one-third and two-thirds of all birds, animals, plants and other species will be lost. The cause is people who are causing organisms to disappear faster than when the last surviving dinosaurs became extinct.
It is estimated that only a mere five percent of tropical forests in protected areas will remain in 50 years if present rates of destruction continue. When these forests exist no longer, neither will the thousands of species of birds, butterflies, insects, mammals, and other species that live there. Kiss the migratory birds goodbye that spend months of each year in the forests. When the birds sing no longer, downward death spirl continues of animals, plants, reptiles, and other species on earth, including mankind. The fate of wildlife and our lives are certainly intertwined.
Man has looked at the health and well-being of birds as a indicator of nature's condition - remember the canaries the coal miners used? What messages can a "little bird" tell us today?

People should stop killing the smaller creatures. It affects the food chain..Eventualy we will cause our own kind to become extinct
Don't want to be sombre about it, but if we don't change our attitude towards nature as a whole, I really think we can be in danger (in hundreds or even thousands of years, of course)
