We have to accept the fact, that the Baiji is functionally extinct. We lost the race
There's always hope for them. I remember reading a National Geographic issue that declared that only 7 California Condors remained in existence. That was in the late 80's. But due to conservation efforts, the condors were reintroduced into the wild at Grand Canyon national park. I've been to the canyon four times, and every time I went, I saw numerous ones. I inquired as to how they were doing in that environment and they were pleased to tell me that they are making a marked come back.
Now we just have to see if the Florida Panther is going to make a come back. There about seven panthers in Florida, last time I checked. I don't know if they are going to make it. I'd love to have them stay, but it seems pretty hit or miss. I want to say that Everglades national park is a large enough habitat for them, but I don't know.
I really wish we still had Tazmanian Wolves left. Those things we're friggin cool. But judging by the size of their mouths, I don't think I'd like to see one up close without some plexiglass in front of me.
"With derision the atheist points out that there can be no God because this world is so unfair. Without hesitation, I concur with him. Indeed, we live in an unfair world because of all sorts of social ills and perils. I must not contend with such a sentiment because it is factual-- we don't live in a fair world. Grace is unambiguous proof that we live in an unfair world. I received salvation when I deserved condemnation. Yes, indeed this world is unfair." -Andrew Jaramillo-
