Because of us, thousands of species will no longer give glory to God by their very existence

Each year sees the disappearance of thousands of plant and animal species which we will never know, which our children will never see. Because of us, thousands of species will no longer give glory to God by their very existence. We have no such right. #Biodiversity #LaudatoSi5
