Habitat Fragmentation

First the diggers came, and the chainsaws We hid in our homes, bewildered Not knowing this could spell the end of our world Many of us perished on roads, trying to access food, Or died going in search of a mate Now we are marooned on a shrinking island We've become in-breds, the dying dregs of our kinds The birds bring news that we are not alone, In countries far away from our small island Forests and animals die fasttogether The climate turns on man and bites him back Clever man, who reads, invents and plans Harvests fossil fuels, fells forests, dredges rivers Urbanization fills in wetlands, mows our meadows down Habitats ripped apart making room for factories, Soil is eroded… causing flooding, drought In Thailand Buddhists ordain trees as monks For doing this, some pay a heavy price Forests give man oxygen, water, food, Clever, clever man, he know that jungles give him Medicine, and clothes, they give him breath Why would man kill them, and the creatures there?
