Sad science: A review of species nearing extinction

A NYT article reviews the status of threatened species extinctions. Overpopulation and climate change are killing species off. The NYT article focuses on mostly habitat loss in view of the recent milestone of 8 billion humans on the planet. The NYT writes:

WILDLIFE IS DISAPPEARING around the world, in the oceans and on land. The main cause on land is perhaps the most straightforward: Humans are taking over too much of the planet, erasing what was there before. Climate change and other pressures make survival harder.

The future of many species hangs in the balance. Meet some of the animals most affected as humans convert more and more land:

At least 33% habitat loss since 2001:

Those show just some of the animals nearing extinction due to overpopulation.

It is sad that America under staunch radical right Republican anti-population control and pro-pollution zealotry has forfeited all of its global moral authority in urging other nations to try to deal with these very real problems. It is not Democrats who oppose population control and efforts to deal with climate change. For the most part, it is the mendacious, fascist Republican Party and many of its rank and file voters who now openly support overpopulation and pollution.

Q: Is overpopulation, climate change and attendant species extinctions at least partly a matter of morality, or do morals have absolutely nothing to do with overpopulation, climate change and/or species extinctions?
