Giraffes in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. Evidence suggests that giraffe populations are plummeting, along with numerous other vertebrate, invertebrate and plant species. The present mass extinction is due to human mismanagement of the earths biological and physical resources -there seems to be no let up in our desire to degrade the world for short term gain, hoarded by an elite few. We may be losing 1 species every 5 minutes, 288/day, 105,120/year. http://www.theworldcounts.com/
