Abstract
RECENTLY MY WIFE AND I spied on some female endangered leatherback sea turtles depositing their Ping-Pong-ball-sized eggs at Trinidad’s Grande Riviére, on the famous “turtle beach” where the river enters the Atlantic.
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall.
He will end by destroying the earth.
—ALBERT SCHWEITZER (1875–1965)
