The environmental issue that affects me the most is environmental deterioration and degradation. As a Wiccan, nature itself is sacred like a church and every day there is less and less real nature. Natural habitats are destroyed, creatures are becoing extinct, the environment is strained and biodiversity is slowly becoming none existant.
Every 20 minutes, a distinct species of plant or animal becomes extinct and close to 75% of wetland and forest habitats have been lost because of human invasion on wild areas. This does not include deforestation. People take no regard for the fact that the land they "own" was once the homes of plants and animals.
Like in the short story "He-y Come on Ou-t", people have tried to make a difference but only ended up doing more harm then what they started with. Many wildlife reserves cause more damage than if people had left them well alone. A wildlife reserve in Japan to protect the rare Great Pandas ended up being more harme than benifit compared to the surounding areas.
