Default Cities harm biodiversity

Our urban footprint covers much of the globe and is coming closer to stomping out many endangered species and posing brand new risks. We need to prepare now.

Experts Ask: What Will Happen to Biodiversity When the World Becomes A Giant City?

Strange when you consider the eco footprint of city dwellers is much less than that of rural dwellers.

I find that report incredibly pessimistic - I wonder who funded it & why?

The only species who are really in danger is us! Nature has always learned to adapt far more easily than we do.
