A slight turn in our course

In the case of the Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, humanity has taken a slight turn in its course to the destruction of our home. The reality of the situation has opened the eyes of many people, slowly deteriorating the old “utopian” world we have been summoned over the years. By utopian I mean that we have claimed ownership, by ourselves, over everything and eventually what we use will soon be refurbished. Through the recognition of the disappearance of the Ivory-billed woodpecker, a sign of faith and determination has triggered many to start valuing all the species roaming the earth; we are no one to decide whose population will be exterminated. We have now began founding organizations, performing research, collecting data to determine what adjustments need to be made to bring back species that are endangered. Restrictions on hunting rights have been imposed in order to be able to coexist with many species that foreshow the beauty of nature. Refugees for endangered species, miles and miles of forested parks, green energy…are only a few examples of how we’ve become more aware of our environment. We have begun to abandon our old habits.
