We humans do not deserve this earth. We need to earn it, by being better individuals. There are billions of people that don't care at all about improving themselves. And that is THE problem. I'm not talking about using paper grocery bags instead of plastic, or paper straws that come in plastic covers and plastic boxes, or buying an EV, or paying carbon credits. Just try to be better people. Not better at virtue signaling. Better to each other. The rest will solve itself when people become more charitable and helpful. And that can't be compelled, or forced, or taxed/stolen into compliance. It has to be voluntary. You have to want to be better to your neighbor. To be better to your family and friends, even enemies. If only there were a book that people could study to help them want to become better, more charitable, more patient, less selfish. but that would go against modern thought and values so it must be vilified.

The only time I support deliberate extinction efforts is if it's an invasive species; the Lion fish off the east coast for example. These animals are not part of the local ecosystem, and have no natural predators. They have the potential to destroy the local ecosystem and need to be delt with. The problem is it's very difficult to wipe out a species on purpose; Life finds a way' (Jeff Goldblum- Jurassic park -1993)

maybe I’m crazy for saying this but pandas. I understand that they are cute, but so many resources are spent on their preservation when extinction is nearly an inevitability for them. So many more entire endangered ecosystems could be protected and preserved with the money that gets hemorrhaged on a species that has no inclination to survive on its own whatsoever.

No. As much as I hate mosquitos I think trying to get rid of just one species could be detrimental to the local environment. I think they’re important to pollination and as a food source to certain wildlife. If the mosquito were wiped out their predators would move to find a different source of food and possibly damaging that ecosystem

Another factor we are not considering is Chestertor's Fence. The fact that if we destroy invasive species, we might accidentally get rid of a change in an ecosystem that needs them. Mosquitoes are a pest and a menace, true, but there are iguanas, frogs, and similar animals that eat them, that are part of an important food chain we might need.

Unfortunately, mosquitoes are part of the way nature helps keeping the invasive human species in check. I don't want humans to be extinct, or course. But why is the goal usually to save the humans We're doing good, number wise. Too many in my opinion. Death is sad, but it is nature.

Why the END Wouldn't it be better for public education that Ted keeps this character alive The more it sits with the community the easier it becomes for us to learn new things through relatable purview.

Humans have destroyed more than half of all life on the planet already, and induce tremendous torture on the life that is left. I am happy to be human, but not proud.

I knew this will definitely end up with getting rid of humans. Because if there are no humans, all the other species will live peacefully in this planet.

Mosquitos. I didn't even have to think about this one. They don't pollinate vegetation. They are akin to parasites and leeches and transmit disease.

This a presumptuous question insinuating that humans know better than mother nature!
The sort of arrogance that can set off an ecological disaster!

Turtlesturtles would be the one I choose to get rid of if I had to choose. I can’t think of any ecosystem that relies on them.
