Six more Australian birds thought extinct - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

While travelling through Việt Nam I'm often dismayed to see rare animals being offered for sale at restaurants, hundreds of kilograms of orchids and other plants rotting at roadside sellers houses and destruction of remote national parks by slash and burn farmers.

As an Australian I feel like a hypocrite when I preach about conservation, Australia arguably has the worst record for habitat destruction and species loss in the world.

The human plague continues
