From the article referenced below:
"The rediscovery of the yellow-spotted bell frog is a reminder of the need to protect natural habitats so "future generations can enjoy the noise and color of our native animals," said Frank Sartor, minister for environment and climate change."
Actually, having future generations enjoying the sights and sounds of species is not much of a goal...
We have no clue of the role of each distinct specie (most of which we have yet to even discover (since most species are microscopic)) in the interdependent web of chemistry known as life on Planet Earth. So, one would think keeping ALL species around would be the smart thing to do...
Individually we are smart. As a group we seem unable to act with wisdom.
