Indeed, @Hix ... That is why we should be extremely worried that Rio+20 has again failed to come up with the real decisions on real issues that need to concern us all as a species. Biodiversity is a reason for survival, not brain capacity or IQ levels (hell, we are not even using 8% of it in our lifetime).
