[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 350741, member: 5873"] Semantics is the 'key'. [b][u][i]Threatened:[/i][/u][/b]....isn't ALL fawna 'threatened' each and every day by 'natural predators'? This nom de plume by any other name, is rolled out yet is a state that is in flux, as conditions vary. Nature has it's own 'ledger' and we are mere custodians, but do little to 'effect' the final outcome. The same game is played out big-time in the US by the EPA to the point of landowners '[u]property confiscation[/u]'....some 'Orders' are now being o/turned in the US Supreme Court due to the 'earmarked species' redoubling #'s OUTSIDE the prohibited areas... Were the 'species' categorized as '[b]Critically Endangered[/b]', one may give consideration to the submission, but millions, and i mean MILLIONS of species are currently 'under threat' as they like to put it, every day. It's all about power & control for a partisan party agenda for the appearance of 'relevance', as we all know Gov't only stuff things up when left to 'control'. From Wikipedia re; Extinction "This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence." "[b]A typical species becomes extinct within 10 million years of its first appearance[/b],[4] although some species, called living fossils, survive with virtually no morphological change for hundreds of millions of years. [b]Some scientists estimate that up to half of presently existing plant and animal species may become extinct by 2100."[/b] [/QUOTE]
