CEASE FIRE!!

How could it be? How could we have let it happen? First the mountain gorillas, then the orang utans, then the bonobos. Next on the list for extinction: the chimpanzees...

The above paragraph isn't true - not yet. But it's a possible, even likely scenario, perhaps just around the corner. Humans are likely to drive wild populations of great apes to extinction in our lifetime. Think I'm being alarmist? Think I'm overreacting? Do the research, do the math, think again.

Image waking up to the news of the demise of a wild population of ape. How would that feel? What would that mean? What would be lost? According to scientists, we'd lose creatures remarkably similar to ourselves. According to Creationists, we'd lose creatures created by God.

Creationists and evolutionists: please - stop the bickering! Let's start working together! Let's join forces and protect enough habitat to keep these and other magnificent creatures off the extinction list!

Here's a few organizations worthy of support:
http://www.unep.org/grasp/
http://www.orangutans-sos.org/
http://www.janegoodall.org/
http://coalitionforprimateprotection.org/
http://www.sadabe.org/
http://www.wcs.org/
http://www.awf.org/

This list should contain religious organizations...please, suggest to your place of worship that they become actively involved in protecting the Creation!!
