As with cornavirus: if you're killing them off faster than they're reproducing, they're not.

And recovery of degraded habitats may take centuries or longer.

Extinction of species is forever.

Use at rates greater than formation or in a manner which will result in extinction of a resource is nonrenewable and unsustainable.
