I learned about people, and what we do and how we are.

There's oil spills, environmental disasters, water rights disputes, breakaway republics, famine, endangered species and global warming.

Most of that we'll do by expanding and protecting wildlands, by expanding and protecting the populations of endangered species.

And the last three years have seen an enormous breakthrough in a brand new field.

In addition, we've started to use cloning technology to try to save endangered species.

But at the same time, conservation biologists are realizing that bad news bums people out.

If you're going to study dragonflies, you want to study those really bright beautiful ones,

and, if anything, at a far greater rate.

They're excited about all this, but they're also concerned that it might be competitive with the extremely important efforts to protect endangered species that are still alive, that haven't gone extinct yet.

They're basically viable cells, so someone like Bob Lanza at Advanced Cell Technology took some of that tissue from an endangered animal called the Javan banteng, put it in a cow, the cow went to term, and what was born was a live, healthy baby Javan banteng, who thrived and is still alive.

The ocean's dying.

They're thinking about putting it on the insides of buildings to move water up without pumps.

loss of rainforest and woodland, increases in domesticated land, and species exinctions.

Now I'm not saying we don't have our set of problems climate crisis, species extinction, water and energy shortage we surely do.

Many species of insects are on the verge of extinction.

Many fragile species are on the verge of extinction.

We have the choice, thanks to these beautiful tools, our hands and our brain, to avoid being one of those species that may disappear,

It appears to be a fungally related ailment.

Animals like the Ganges river dolphin which is just down to a few left, and it is also critically endangered.

Now when the Treasure sank in 2000, it was the height of the best breeding season scientists had ever recorded for the African penguin, which at the time, was listed as a threatened species.

And that truth is, or was, in the 20th century, that while we were beginning to develop endangered species movements, we didn't have an endangered people's movement.

The Siberian tiger is on the verge of extinction.

The HlPPO juggernaut we have created, if unabated, is destined according to the best estimates of ongoing biodiversity research to reduce half of Earth's still surviving animal and plant species to extinction or critical endangerment by the end of the century.

I was always a little worried he was on to us.

Well, the scary thing is, he's still in the wind.

A fund was set up to preserve endangered marine life.
