In message 123 Pinochet asked:

"Why cry for the ecosystems?"

I'm concerned about the millions of species that are unique to each 
ecosystem because I believe, firmly, that every species on this planet has 
a RIGHT to be here.  I also believe that humans have no right to deny any 
species existence.  It may be true that we have caused some species to 
become extinct.  It may be true that nature allows some species to become 
extinct on their own.  That's evolution.  But what humanity is doing to
this planet at the moment is not right.  So many species have become
extinct in the last century that scientists can't even gauge how much 
damage we've done.  It's tragic.  It's unjust.  And we're responsible!
That's why I, and a lot of people like me, are "crying" about ecosystems.
