... If we don't save the Elliot Forest, the human race may go extinct.

Wow.

My house is a only a few miles down the road from the edge of the EF and borders a tract of land that has been clearcut a minimum of 4 times since the 
mid-19th C.  Black bear, bobcats, blacktail deer, redtail hawks, bald eagles, elk, porcupine, raccoons, osprey, otters, beaver, bats, bluejays, herons, and a couple score species of songbirds, ducks and other waterfowl make their home in the neighborhood and on an adjacent lake.  (I haven't seen a cougar, although their tracks have been reported by hikers in the vicinity.)

No sense of impending human extinction yet.  :-/
