As long as there is life on this planet, and I do not just mean human life, species will come and species will go. Extinction occurs for all species at one point, and at this moment, the Torreya taxifolia, a type of tree, is facing this problem. Scientists differ in opinion on how this phenomena should be handled. Some are suggesting relocating the species to a different location. However, I do not think this is a good idea. There have always been species that become extinct, and why should now be different than before? If this particular species of tree is meant to die out, then let it be so. Humans feel the need to interfere with everything that has to do with nature. Perhaps they should let this one go.
