Because extinction is a natural process why should humans now be concerned with the extinction rate?
Because the extinction rate is conservatively 100 to 1,000 times higher because of humans. So if it wasn't for us the natural rate would be such that the environment could recover from it.
It is true that we are a natural part of extinction, but we have also benefited many species of animal that we deem to have favourable characteristics. Cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry exist in huge numbers due to human activity. If an animal is not useful to humans, and is co-existing in the same habitat, its numbers will decline.
Cuckoos invade the nests of other birds, substitute it's own eggs for the hosts, and lets them raise it's young. Is this wrong? Or is this nature at work?
Humans are also nature at work, and we should only be concerned if a species benefiting us is in decline.
