The Ivory-billed Woodpecker and its possible extinction is not just a loss of a species, something that happens everyday. The birds disappearance represents humans lack of concern for anything other than themselves. People have caused the Ivory-billed Woodpecker to have such low numbers or possibly be completely wiped out. If we are able to recover the missing bird then maybe we have a chance to reverse some of the damage that has been done. As minute as a single species, that is not human, may seem, they all play a roll in a nature and are important whether one realizes their significance or not. It is important to respect each and their habitat. Our species has no excuse for the destruction of nature. It is time we finally try to preserve what is left before there is nothing at all.
