Martha, the very last Passenger Pigeon, died on September 1, 1914. In less than one lifetime, man attacked a species that numbered over 3 billion and drove it into extinction.
Please take a moment at some point today to reflect on this tragedy and the ongoing destruction that humans inflict on our beautiful natural world and the species that share it.
