I just watched this well done video that discusses biodiversity. It is worth the 2 minutes. One of the shocking facts they present is that there are more than 80,000 plant species on the planet yet we choose only 13 of those encompassing 90% of our diet. That is just CRAZY! We also under use the medicinal plants that are available to us in the rain forest, 1% I think was the number, even though 50% of our medicines come from those very natural resources. CRaaaA ZzZeeeeY! Right??
