The logic of 'endangered species' is a sacred cow among
environmentalists. So much so that most fail to realise that it fits
well the agenda of the corporate beast that is destroying our home. With
the obsession with inventories of species we blind ourselves to the true
scale of the destruction that is going on to provide the rich world with
its excessive consumption.

It will be quite possible to wipe out 90% of life on earth whilst still
satisfying the expert environmentalists that their inventories are not
being depleted. This cold, callous language of the economists has
removed any sense of worth from life on earth as anything other than a
commodity. It's fine to kill millions of plants and animals to build a
road (for example) so people can scurry frantically from slave camp a to
slave camp b more efficiently, so long as they are not members of
species the experts have noticed are endangered.

We are talking about living beings here, not stock on a supermarket
shelf.
