text: Why is this author given a forum here?  She seems only tacitly Christian (it's hard to tell from the muddle of her essays, however), unfamiliar with most science (start here, for a primer http://www.nationalgeographic.com/deextinction/, if the science is too hard), and has only a tenuous grasp on writing for publication.  Just because she is "eco" is no reason to promote her.  
  I don't know who might be a better Christian "ecologically spiritual" essayist; I'm sure that many, even if I would disagree with all of them, have to be superior to this one.
