Very surprised not to see Marco/Mike Bingham blaming the Falkland Islands Government and Oil exploration in Falkland Islands on the decrease in Chinstrap Penguin numbers.

Well, they do have a track record of exterminating species.

Whereas Argentina has never sent any species to extinction within its territory.

Red-bellied gracile opossum, Its forest habitat has been destroyed, and it was last seen in 1962.

Where does that indicate that every single indigenous inhabitant was killed off? That is what extermination means, no specimens left.

The onus is on you to prove there is not ONE indigenous person left in the entirety of modern Argentina's territory.

My onus is to prove there is just one extant individual.

I like my odds.
