Millions of Species Going Extinct

Millions of Species Going Extinct Species loss is hundred times faster than in the past Without good habitat half million species will not last, 27,159 species is the threaten tally Includes half the plants and more if we dally. 680 backbones species are gone So what did we do wrong? Half the planet's land Is now used in agriculture and for man. We turned forests and grasslands into farms Built cities that left plants and animals more harm. Oceans are doing just as bad A third of fish are gone and that is sad. We dumped tons of metals, in land and sea Polluted with solvents, sludge and debris. Fossil fuels were too hot for some to stay alive Changed the climate for some species to survive Invasive species pushed out animals and plants Economic fights reduced government grants. Last bird specie was "dusky sparrow" Now cousin "grasshopper sparrow" is imperiled. But, if one bug has to go Let it be the number one killer - the mosquito. And remember if the honey bees disappear They will be taking us with them it is very clear.
