The policies a) to replace "our primitive" way of burning oil energy as well as b) our "aggressive" anthropogenic attitudes, are very promising and they will be the key factors for conservation of the biodiversity. These factors could be characterized as "long term" actions and they should be taken very seriously into consideration although they cannot be presently accepted by the politicians and decision makers as it was proved during the Convention on Biological Diversity. Thus, scientists should intensify their efforts in this direction along with all other appropriate actions (scientific programmes, educational policies, national and international projects) for conservation of biodiversity.
