everything from our pets to our lawns to our roads and farms does damage to biodiversity though, which ultimately makes all life less resilient.

- Ericson2314 10y agoYay I'm not the only one! Preserving biodiversity is oft-unstated most important goal of environmentalism. It's our meta-darwinian imperative.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoWhy would we care about biodiversity? There are only two reasons that come to my mind, and both IMO should be addressed directly: - because it's cool and fun to have all those cute plants and animals around - because biodiversity reduces the chance of sudden ecological collapse that would leave us without food
- Ericson2314 10y ago- Ecological fortitude as you say. Good for food but cleaning up our other messes which can harm us. - Biodiversity helps us understand life better by providing exceptions to dogmas - Biodiversity is the crowning achievement of this earth and would take along time to recover. We can colonize other planets more easily than we can replicate our biodiversity on them.
