“out of 124 types of wild coffee, 75 are at risk of extinction”

And how much of the coffee drinking population is drinking coffee made from these “wild” species of coffee beans? Very little. So just what is it that coffee lovers have to worry about? Nothing.

The more varieties there are, the less likely it is that one disease could wipe them out.

Also, we don't want wild plant species going extinct before we've had a chance to check them for medicinal properties.

Places where wild coffee grows is being used to grow proceeded coffee for starbucks and all the other coffee producers who have a name and $$ to spend.

I think Starbucks is causing the problem....yeah, let’s get the climate change wack jobs to blame Starbucks. It is always fun to see libs attack libs.
