The only way you could stop flora and fauna from being wiped out at the rate it's going now is to get every person on the face of the planet to agree to never do anything harmful to the environment again. That being said, do you think it's possible to stop people from driving, using electricity, or writing on paper, among the tons of other things we do that result in species dying out? Even if we stopped emitting carbons right now, the ones we've already emitted will go on destroying the environment for at least another 100 years, and most likely far beyond that.

Developed nations also can't expect developing countries to just stop tearing species-rich habitats down. After all, the developed nations did it to their lands, so developing countries have every right to argue that for one thing, it's their own land, and for another, other countries were allowed to do it to their lands. Of course we should learn from history and stop perpetuating the cycle. But what do you think is more important to the kinds of people who are tearing down forests? Survival and money, or rare bug species? Once people have all the amenities in their life, then they start thinking about the environment. It's a matter of our priorities.

1. Help reduce poverty in developing nations so they don't have to destroy the habitat to survive.
2. Stop corporate plundering of habitats (mining, logging, overfishing, etc.).
