Yesterday-Extinction, Today-Extermination, Tomorrow-What?
McKenna, Harold J.
Journal of Environmental Education, 7, 3, 28-33, 76
This paper looks in detail at the "natural" causes of extinction as compared to the "technological" causes of extermination (abrupt niche-emptying), using examples of species that are both extinct and exterminated. Ways are suggested that can put a halt to extermination. (BT)
