    Thank you so much for helping me use this video to illustrate system archetypes such as "fixes that fail", and explain how system delays work. I once used this video as a stepping stone to prepare for an exam some time ago, and re-watching it now can help me with an exam I have coming soon. Warmest regards!

    NEW VIDEO! New narration voice. Please let me know what you think. Do you know of any other stories where solutions implemented without a systems perspective created new problems?

    Hello, this is a great video! As a Sarawakian, I never heard this from anywhere, not even in my hometown in Borneo. Thanks for the story! It should remind us that we must think thoroughly about the solution before proceeding, otherwise it's a failure. Sometimes, I wish this doesn't happen, but oh well, those who don't learn the history will condemn to repeat it again. Also, wishing that we may not land our cat with parachute, but this time with jetpack rocket. 😊

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:38 *🦟 DDT spraying led to unintended consequences, including collapsing roofs due to the elimination of parasitic wasps controlling thatch-eating caterpillars.*
    01:35 *🦎 Accumulation of DDT in geckos, consumed by cats, led to cat mortality, causing an increase in the rat population.*
    02:05 *🐈 Operation "Cat drop" was initiated to control the rat population, highlighting the unforeseen consequences of environmental interventions.*

    If the insects were killed with DDT, how the lizzards ate them?
    They eat alive insects...

    • @learnsustainability
      @learnsustainability  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Good question! The geckos did not eat dead insects, they ate live insects who had DDT into them (as shown in the image of the gecko eating flying insects), and by eating large quantities of those insects, they accumulated high levels of DDT, which they tolerate quite well. But the cats who ate the geckos, got killed by the high levels of DDT.

    • @DOX_Prod
      @DOX_Prod 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@learnsustainability Apparently they ate cockroach which have a better resilience and can metabolize DDT in their bodies. But the whole story about foodchain contamination might be wrong as I just read in this article : catdrop.com/cats.htm Basically cats might have just been intoxicated by licking their paws... The implications about problem solving are still true and your video is cool !

    • @learnsustainability
      @learnsustainability  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for your message. You might need to watch the video again. The rats did not "get the plague" (nobody did actually). On the contrary, they proliferated due to the absence of cats who died from the DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) contained in the geckos they ate.
