Human survival, conservation linked United Press International WASHINGTON — Humans have become a major force in the destiny of life on Earth, and a major new international conservation project warns that preservation of the world’s diverse species may help in sure our own survival. Some scientists believe as many as 90 percent of all species that once existed have been eradicated. Until the last few hundred years, natural forces were largely responsible for the disappearance of plants and animals. But now, according to the U.N.- sponsored World Conservation Strategy, man is the primary killer of species. Habitat destruction has been the primary problem, the Strategy said. “Without its habitat, any given species has nowhere to run and no where to hide,” the conservation plan said. "Its support system is gone. “The explosion of the human population and the advancing tech nology that seeks to serve the needs of ever-increasing numbers of peo ple have simply eliminated many life forms, usually without human awareness or any gains for man.” Not only are humans morally obliged to preserve species, the Strategy said, but “wisdom also dic tates that we be prudent — we can not predict what species may be come useful to us.
