RE: The Bermuda petrel (Pterodroma cahow) was believed to have gone extinct in the 1620s, but was rediscovered 330 years later
From the eradication rate and conservation rate , it is clear how easy it is to destroy and how difficult it's to protect.
Though it is really cool that it received the attention and was protected.
Yeah, that's a good point. We killed almost half a million in under 20 years, and then spent another 75 years to get the number of breeding pairs from 18 to 117.
Humans are very selfish.
Guess we haven't evolved as much as we'd thought
Indeed we are. Actually, evolution often favors those who are selfish, so evolving might not have anything to do about caring for others.
