Protecting the rainforest is fine, but relying on loggers being scared of mosquitoes isn’t an effective way to do it. What if they find good repellents? Or start spraying the forest before logging? We can kill the mosquitoes and work to save the forest, they’re not exclusive.
- fythug 7y agoWhat about species which use mosquitos as food? History shows that killing off entire species is a very questionable thing to do, no matter how good the cause. I think a much better idea would be developing medicine and vaccines for diseases spread by mosquitos.
- zepto 7y agoYes - the mosquitos may one day not be effective in protecting the rainforest. You are saying we should make that happen as soon as possible. Killing the mosquitos is not exclusive with working to save the forest only if you have another way to save the forest. Nothing has been able to prevent the illegal logging except mosquitoes. What is your suggestion?
