Natalia TchemodanovIt would be interesting to hear more about what you mean as "progressive evolution". Do you mean we shouldn't be using technology to save a species which is maladapted to its environment? Perhaps not, but our fishing activities are what is causing the extinction. On the other hand, we, as a species are a part of the environment, so perhaps our activities can be considered 'natural'.
