Why should we care? What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on earth disa

ppear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. It is fashionable in some quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bugs and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the Pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it.

Catching a bus can be the cheapest way of traveling between cities. It is often the only way of getting to smaller towns if you are not driving a car.

The largest network of bus routes is run by a company called Greyhound and its affiliates.

What three things was Fredrick Douglass deprived of as a child that his audience thinks every child should have?
Stells [14]

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:

The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.

Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.

Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.
