About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...

Would be a damn shame if the National Forestry service just started spiking all those trees.

Would be a shame if the millions of people who cherish our national forests, such as outdoors-people, survivalists, veterans and preppers, just decided that they don't want their woods chopped down.

Sure would be a shame if anything kept happening to that expensive logging equipment over and over.

What’s the emergency? Climate change isn’t catastrophic enough yet?

It’s so the US can build more vacant houses.

Does anyone know if this will affect Yellowstone national park? I've always wanted to go there and Imma be extra pissed if he destroys that reserve.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I'm worried about the Redwoods too, but for some reason I was thinking Yellowstone was in Washington State, now I feel dumb.
