Shows how effective they've been at their mission so far, doesn't it?

I suspect they may have nudged their statistics beyond the point where it can be excused as hyperbole. What is a "species" anymore? Does it often happen that a mother animal gives birth to multiple species in a single litter by their standards?

I had thought the depopulation was slowing. Apparently not.

Can’t imagine this being any ruling party’s political priority with whispers of a recession in the air (I’m sure many will pay lip service)

I have no idea what to do about this. It’s such a severe, long term, tragedy of the commons situation.
