Very good clip. Very scary reality. We made what was the most abundant avian species extinct in less than a century. Vale Martha, we shouldn't forget you or the reality that we can punch massive holes in nature transforming the most abundant species on the planet to memories and stuffed specimens in museum cabinets. Lets avoid doing that again to other creatures shall we?
