We live in a world gone crazy for resources. Everybody on Google Earth can look at this place now. If you don't move to protect it, it will disappear. Everything in the world is vulnerable.
In the quote from Douglas Preston's "The Lost City of the Monkey God," the author highlights the frantic race for resources in modern society. This obsession has led to increasing vulnerability of important places and ecosystems. The accessibility of locations via technology, such as Google Earth, brings attention to these areas, but also heightens the risk of exploitation and disappearance if conservation efforts are not initiated.
Preston emphasizes the urgency of protecting vulnerable environments from destruction. He suggests that without proactive measures, unique and precious places will be lost forever. The call to action reflects a broader concern for the environmental impact of human activity and the critical need for awareness and preservation in our resource-driven world.
