The story begins with few sentences which I got it from the book of Social Science 13th edition edited by Hunt & Colander. The story mentioned about the Persian Empire in 336 B.C where King Philip II was assassinated and his rule was assumed by his son, Alexander the Great, who was not yet twenty years old. By the time Alexander died, overcome by a sudden and unidentified disease when he was only thirty-three years old, he had solidified his father’s conquest of Greece and then gone on to conquer Egypt, almost all of what we now call the Middle East, and the greater part of India. To Alexander is attributed the demand, “Bring me more worlds to conquer.”
It is true indeed that human now have already conquered the world by massive amount of human population. According to the National Geographic website which discussed about the accelerating of human population from 1billion from 1800 to 6.6 billion today has clear evidence that human have already conquered the world. This massive amount of population shows that we have to share the earth resources such food, water, and land. It means that we have a massive demand on these resources! We need land to develop, and forest for wood source.
We not only conquered the world by population but also with the modern technology that we have invented such as Harvester, skidder and forwarder for forestry. With this technology human can cut down the tree faster than tradition technology such axes.
As a result, we have destroyed the ecosystem of the earth which is unique to us. For example, in the early 2000s in Brazil, about 4,000 mi2 (10,000 km2) of rainforest were being cleared yearly, mostly for cattle ranching, soy farming, and subsistence farming (Lerner 2008.) caused the wildlife lost it habitat.
The massage that we try to bring to the reader is clear that human have the responsibility for the future of the wildlife! We can conserve the wildlife or extinguish the wildlife. The choice is yours! Lastly, I will like to share this quote from Al Gore (former vice president of USA) “Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves, "What were our parents thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance?" We have to hear that question from them, now.” Yes indeed why not we wake up now when we still have a chance to protect the wildlife before our generation might not have any chances to experience the unique of the ecosystem. Let us preserve this property of earth to them.
