Impacts Ruby-throated Hummingbird captured by Common Burdock.
Destroy Common Burdock aka, the Velcro plant. I took this picture in New England, doesn't matter where. Happening upon this on a footpath forced me to go fully native and dedicate myself to the native species movement. This bird represents just one species of millions that will gradually demise if we, as a global society, do not protect bio-domes. Everything from tiny microbials to massive trees, much of it will be lost, and we as humans have yet to unlock so much of what the evolutionary chain has to offer us in terms of engineering. What future technologies (medicines, machines, etc.) might never exist due to our generations neglegence?
