From Juanita J. Rinas:

Re: Almost “uncontacted” tribe revealed (May 30): It is imparative that these cultures be preserved and protected, us “civilised” people have much to learn from them regarding how to live in harmony with nature, which is certainly predicated by the response that industrialized society has had regarding their tribal environments, still pristine, preserved and filled with the abundance the rest of the “civilised” world seems to want.

Simply enough if we had sought not to take more than what we required from the earth, we would not be emperiled as we now are. What we do to the earth, we do to ourselves... how long before we are on the endangered species list?
