Description
Our planet hasn't seen the current rate of extinction since the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Now we face choices which will determine the fate of Earth's estimated 8.7 million species, including ourselves. As wildlife disappears, conservation needs to make trade-offs. What should we conserve, and why? Are we wrong to love bees and hate wasps? Are native species more valuable than newcomers (also known as invasives)? Should some animals be culled to protect others, and what do we want the 'natural world' to look like?
