20% of Vertabrates threatened by Extinction

Quick entry on what I read about in this morning's edition of the WSJ - 1/5 of all verterbrates are threatened with extinct according to new research. That means loss of mammals, birds and amphibians. The number would have been higher if it were not for conservation efforts and the creation of animal sanctuaries.

Having attended the Wellness Summit in Singapore - the theme was sustainability. Our health is linked to our habitat. This tells me - we need to pay better attention and be more active. Our lives are linked with other living things. Something worthwhile to think about.
