Perhaps you missed the point where there are fewer than 10 left.
cut down all 10 of them and it’s no longer a problem!
to the leftists the tree is nothing as long as everyone rides a commuter and eliminates their car!
“....fewer than 10 left.”
It’s a genetic defect. More will come along randomly. It is not a question of a population being wiped out and a species going extinct.
It's not a matter of there only being 10 left. It's just a mutation of an existing species. a hundred (or thousand) years from now, there will still probably be 10 of them.
