Some conservationists believe that perhaps half of all species on earth will become extinct in the next 50 to 100 years. To prevent that, several groups work to assist efforts at conserving biodiversity. Some of the efforts include taxonomy (cataloging species), managed retreat (letting nature retake areas), saving seeds, and propagating endangered plants. Man's efforts toward destruction and development must be balanced with sustainability.
