Danish zoo raises polar bear cub by hand - Yahoo! News
This is a nice, cute story around the holidays.
A 'feel-good story.' Helping the little fella stay alive.
It also underscores our taking for granted a functional ecosystem, and the costs of replacing that functionality by hand.
Sustainability of Earth's delicate and beautiful ecosystems - billions of years in the making - is so crucial now to all the beings on the planet, after just 200 devastating years of man's carbon-based misuse and pollution.
It is far easier to support the ecosystem and lessen our pollution and impacts on it than to make up for it one organism at a time. The globe's harmony and life-giving processes have already been ruthlessly and shortsightedly thrown into disarray by a too-greedy mankind. Extinction rates are at an unprecedented curve.
We are the most-evolved tenants and the de facto landlords of this planet now. We have to do a better job.
