    This is such an important video to watch. These birds are on the edge and do not have to go extinct - we have to take actions. As Cali said the worst thing we can do is to not take action at all. Please support the effort called Birds not Mosquitos ... time is running out and we need to move more quickly to deploy these new tools.

    Hope is always important in order to engineer and motivate change. Yes, everything we do has the ability to improve or make things worse- from choosing to use disposables - or deciding against the overproduction and consumption. Climate change will happen, but it can certainly progress more slowly and allow us to adapt.

    The equilibrium (stability) of an ecosystem relies primarily on the biodiversity of that system. If all the honeycreepers disappear and they have no other organism to take over their niche (role(s)) in the environment, then the entire system could collapse and shift from a negative feedback loop to a positive feedback loop, which could lead to the desertification of the forest.
