Population biologists are now predicting by the year 2050, we’ll have a population of nine to 10 billion people straining the capabilities of this planet. It doesn’t leave a lot of room for a wild animals or wild places. So we’ve got to address that, and I don’t think any zoo has done that effectively. We’ve got to somehow reduce that population as I’ve been researching by a billion to make it more meaningful. The other problem we have is with climate change. And if we don’t get a handle on climate change and we have to do this sooner than later, because apparently as scientists are now predicting climate change is coming on us more rapidly than they had predicted. The Arctic they figure by 2050 may be devoid of ice totally.
