-The population of the vulture has been declining due to diclofenac which is toxic to the vultures.
-Since the vultures are gonna, anthrax develops on cow carcasses, and is eaten by wild dogs which then spread rabies
-People speculated the reason for decline in vultures was habitat loss or pollution.
-Harming an ecosystem could harm another miles away and the individual who rely on the ecosystem
-Many people are upset as protecting ecosystems restrict jobs and earnings for occupations such as farmers and loggers
-Hot Spots are ecosystems of how endemic biodiversity and were the first priorities to protect in terms of conservation
-This system was based on triage and more critical than photos of cute or iconic animals
-Only about 30% of Americans have heard of the word "biodiversity"
-The animals most vulnerable to endangerment are mammals in boreal forests and other arctic regions
-Though some ecosystems do not have a high biodiversity, they may be important as seasonal homes, migratory stops, nesting or spawning sites.
-This areas are important ecologically and economically
-Damage to one ecosystem can harm another as well as the individuals who rely on it for resources
-When given a dollar value, ecosystem services far out-profit gross domestic products
-Most ecosystem services are declining as well as not being used in a sustainable way
-Wetlands and mangrove swamps can greatly reduce the impact of natural storms
-Maintaining the environment is the key to getting rid of poverty in many poor rural areas
-Wetlands naturally filter water reducing the deaths due to water pollution
-Eliminating predators have jeopardize humans as those predators can keep in check populations of animals which may hold diseases
-Wilderness separate from human interaction no longer exist
-Human health is threatened when ecosystems and natural cycles break down
-2 million die each year from inadequate or unclean water supply
-Many scientists are finding that areas which protect humans and biodiversity are quite important to protect
-Policies that protect biodiversity are not likely to gain much public support
-Taken into consideration must be biodiversity as well as the well-being of people
-Some of the currently endangered or threatened species of today may be the abundant specie of tomorrow
-We must remember that returning the earth to a pre-industrial state is impossible
-Conservation will only be supported and widespread when humans are in the center

In this article the author talks about how saving biodiversity and ecosystems will benefit humanity. Ecosystems provide us with many of the things we use today.

So What?
Many ecosystems benefit us in someway and if a ecosystem is damaged it can affect us
Says Who?
By Peter Kareiva and Michelle Marvier
What if....?
What if all ecosystems were restored to the what they were in the pre industrial age
What does this remind me of?
This reminds me of how a lot of times we don't know what people do for the community and how much we benefit from them
