The only reason we're having a problem is because we are causing it, our species.
And that's why it's our responsibility to fix it, which is veering wildly from your question.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.
And across the Amazon basin, I think it's a few dozen environmental activists get killed every year.
It's corporate terrorism, and it's like the guys on the ground.
There'll be a logging company that has the rights to this land.
There'll be some indigenous person protesting it and starting up with the social media, trying to bring people attention.
And they know what it is because those people aren't that common.
Take the head off the snake.
And everyone's so devastated.
Everyone's so scared.
And again, you strike that chord in people where you devastate them.
You kill the person that was starting to make the hope.
and then that usually works.
And so the idea that they can just assassinate is that it's happening constantly.
I think that the urgency of
saving wildlife and saving ecosystems.
I think most people know about it and most people feel helpless.
