I think it's great! I just wish that people actually thought this way. Even if everyone picked one point, we could work to make share this world with the other creatures that inhabit it. I especially like #3 "Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital needs." We all have this idea that everything is there for us to use and do what we want with. That is so not the case!
Can you explain why "Ecosystems are both strong and fragile"?
I guess what this means is that when every part of the ecosystem is working it is very strong, but when one part of it falters, the rest of the ecosystem suffers. Each part of the ecosystem strongly relies on every other part. I like the article's comparison of an ecosystem and a spider web. It really helped me visualize things.
