Unfortunately, no one has told the hungry of the world they are suppose to quietly
starve to death. They are NOT going to go quietly but will plow up every acre (or
hectare) of habitat for agriculture first. Increasing agricultural yields on
existing agricultural lands in proportion to population growth is the only way to
protect existing natural habitats from destruction.
