Jon Axton replied
Thankyou Steve. I have just read your journal entry and fully support your call to do all in our power to prevent the risk of losing these remarkable creatures. It seems the human race are slow learners.

Indeed we are.. But, compare the situation to a decade or two ago and we have come along way with many species I guess. So lets hope it slowly turns around and populations can recover..
