"Most recent extinctions can be attributed, either directly or indirectly, to man; more specifically to man's demographic and technological expansion. ... If mankind continues to allow whole species to perish, when does their peril also become ours? In South Africa we have witnessed the extinction of the Quagga, the Bluebuck, the Cape Lion and any number of plant species. Right now there are certain species whose survival is threatened; the Black Rhino, the Cheetah, the elephants of Kaokoveld and Knysna, the Cape Vulture and the floral kingdom of the south western Cape." .
