Another site with a countdown. This one's all about saving biodiversity.
I still remember a docu I saw on Dutch television about a farmer who bread almost extinct cabbages and other vegetables.
Even the pharmaceutical companies have a need for preserving (almost) extinct plants. A lot of research is still based on molecules found in plants.
I know pharma industry is already using the banana-gene-database of the University of Leuven (Belgium) for exactly this purpose!
So let's all go for biodiversity :
