"Taking a respite while plant species drift into extinction is a fool's gambit." Tick Tock, Tick Tock...
"Every day, an estimated 100 plant and animal species are lost to deforestation" ... "A conservative estimate of the current extinction rate indicates that about 27,000 species a year are being lost." National Wildlife Federation
Tick Tock, Tick Tock!
Every day between 1 to 3 plant species go extinct! Of the 270,000 known species of plants
only 4% have been screened for their medicinal value. In the U.S. 25% of all prescription
medicine contains active ingrediants extracted from plant species.
We are recklessly destroying the opportunity to cure disease.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock!
