"But the engines driving habitat destruction and species extinction are incredibly powerful. It's probable that in even the best-case scenarios, we're going to lose a lot. Which brings us to the second response: pick and choose which parts we save, and the third: save the plans for all the parts. The pick-and-choose approach is known as the "hotspots" strategy. The gist: identify threatened habitats with the greatest biological diversity and use our scarce conservation funding to protect them." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans, and the invasion of wilderness, the earth itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a kind of protective immune system with antibodylike agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: Homo sapiens. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the precursor of AIDS, may be the revenge of the rain forest." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "Five Nature Bites Back: Climate Change, Epidemic Disease, Water Scarcity, habitat destruction, and the Dark Side of the Industrial Age I was at a four-day conference called Pop Tech in the seaside village of Camden, Maine, at the peak of the fall foliage season in October 2003, having a pretty good time at the talks, and enjoying a series of extravagant dinners—one featuring a free oyster raw bar and gratis Grey Goose vodka — not to mention all the lobsters, steaks, and other products of our bountiful cheap-oil economy." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)
