Tackling Global Problems at their Common Roots

Example Two: Overpopulation => Destruction of Biotopes => Interference with Biodiversity
An ever-increasing number of species is being eradicated off the face of the earth. The alarming rate at which we diminish the richness of life in rain forests and coral reefs has two long-term consequences on our own well-being.
Firstly, we remove an enormous amount of valuable plant DNA, a potential that future generations may use for medicinal or nutritional purposes.

Secondly, we forestall nature's efforts to evolve new organisms among her many experiments under way in the rich pool of animal diversity. This action should be recognised as a true sin in the face of the creator by the church. It does not, however, speak up in favour of creation. Perhaps one of these organisms could have become a suitable replacement for man. A replacement compatible with nature and capable of coexistence with the rest of creation.

INTERFERENCE WITH THE PROCESS OF CREATION BY HUMAN OVERPOPULATION MUST BE STOPPED.
