Extinction Crisis Serious Threat to Our Health – says Harvard Doc

with one comment

“Few people realize our health is directly tied to the health of the natural world,” – Dr. Aaron Bernstein, Harvard Medical School

Bernstein and colleagues reveal the latest scientific evidence to make a persuasive case that the current extinction crisis, with species vanishing every day, is a serious threat to humanity equal to, if not greater than, climate change.

Their findings are documented in a new book “Sustaining Life“, see here for complete article.

“When we harm nature, we are harming ourselves,” says Bernstein.
