Thanks, John!. You’re spot on about the transformation of global ecology, and it's terrifying how quickly we're favoring those species that can thrive in the mess we've created. Cockroaches and rats weren't exactly who we hoped would inherit the Earth, right? But here we are.

I agree, preserving biodiversity through habitat protection is crucial, but the real battle is getting those in power to actually care and take action. That’s where we need a full-on societal shift—beyond just individual efforts. We can't let the narrative stop at “some species will adapt”; we need to push for a world where survival isn’t only for the pests.
