In the later years of my working life where I was considered an ESA specialist. This makes me sick to my stomach. Once there is a wave of localized extinctions, the whole local ecosystem will crash and after that, it will be a rapid decline in all ecosystems partly due to the migratory nature of many of the extincted species. It's connected and once a big chunk goes, the whole sweater quickly unravels.

It's the bioshpere, stupid, should be the motto going forward.
