Human Wars= Animal deaths

[Catherine]

They are currently studying the effects of war on animal populations. In particular they are studying the statistics for Africa.
As you might expect, when humans engage in war animal lives are lost.

It is complicated as to why the animals die or are killed. However it is clear that when we start killing each other we are also causing animal deaths.
War is a bad idea. It doesn't seem to solve anything. Now we know it depletes animal populations. It may take years more study to put the statistics together, but we have enough information to know that what we do effects the ecosystems we live in and the animals who share those ecosystems. We need to find solutions to our conflicts that don't take innocent lives. So far animal populations are recovering when a conflict ends. If we don't change, someday we may be the cause of elephant extinction or some other wonderful animal. 

War isn't just bad it is destructive in ways we have no right to be.
