"Will the rampant destruction of tropical forests and
climate change kill off much of Earth’s biological
diversity? In recent decades some biologists have claimed
that up to half of all species on earth might disappear
during our lifetimes. But other scientists are now
disputing this view, arguing that many species can persist
in logged or altered lands and that rainforest
destruction is slowing."
"Who is right?: The stakes are high. The battle lines
have been drawn. Some of the world’s top scientists are
lining up to debate the tropical extinction crisis.Don’t
miss the controversy—and a chance to learn more about the
fate of tropical species."[/tscii:d7a62e28ce]
