yawn, sigh (whatever other passive-aggressive bodily functions you can imagine).

99% percent of all species that ever existed have gone extinct. The biosphere is not some pathetic weak, non resilient, piece of glass that you think it is. We can easily lose a lot more species and the biosphere would be just fine.

> We have exterminated a species.

We are not some outside influence/cancer on the planet. We ARE nature, and nature is survival of the fittest, we are fit, dodos are not.

A massive loss of biodiversity is bad for humans, regardless of whether the biosphere recovers.

Spoken like someone who doesn't spend much time outside. Something can be worth saving for its own sake.
