I am particularly fond of the planet Earth, and am sorry that so many future generations will not be able to see it in its full glory before we wrecked it; and I am privileged to have lived at the tail end of it, and have worked a little to try and slow the mess down. I love all the extraordinary things that we can still see, but that are dying and will not last the next century -- the Serengeti Plain and most of central Africa, the last remnant of the true ancient world; the glories of SouthEast Asia, which will be over in 50 years; the black rhino and the Java tiger; the cheetah and the panda; and other lesser known species going under at a rate of 20,000 per year. The richness of the oceans and seas, now draining away. The possibility of finding a part of the world unsaturated with the presence of mankind. They will not know the wild spaciousness we have seen, and they will be poorer for it.
yours, Peter T.
