Boa Sr has died. With her death ends the 65,000 year old Bo civilization and language. Survival International and linguists are in panic mode as the extinction of the Bo serves as a reminder that many ancient peoples teeter on the brink of annihilation taking with them much of human history and cultural diversity.

Wonder whether this is a sign for the human species however? The way we are going with environmental destruction, very soon we won't have air to breathe and may be eating only artificial food.

I think we will always be around in some form or other. If we would just stop breeding like rabbits and cutting trees. If we had more plants we would have better air. And if we quit covering the best farms with houses and shopping centers we would have plenty of food.

Agreed.

I might mention there's plenty of space to build on. Just needs a bit of TLC. I suppose i just dislike cities.

So do I, except I am reliant on it for staying alive. Hopefully one day I can live near the sea in a safe place where I can have my own garden, grow my own food, and live off the earth rather than out of plastic containers.
