Hi Liz it's Ryan great information. I am definitely seeing urbanization take over where I live. Walkable cities are the only answer. I think that changes in lifestyle are too miniscule to make an impact. So as soon as space tourism is available I am going mars or the moon permnitly. We need to treat resources like water and oil with the same price tag as valuable goods gasoline should be 7 dollars. Thank you for taking the time to read this
From farmers,villagers and all humans species must be educated indispensability of biodiversity around the world 🌎 even given something incentive to get attention to learners.🙏🏿🌳🌳🦚🦜🐘🦌🦆
Thank you Elizabeth for this inspiring talk. I just found out about CRISPR (late, I know) and I will read more about it soon (especially the risks and ethics), but it sounds like that could be a way to fix the genetic diversity problem right? And this is yet another video highlighting deforestation and livestock as big causes of species loss, does this also result in ecologists eating much more plant-based? :)
HI, Dr Hadly, thank you very much for sharing your great knowledge! I just would like to point out that there is one important misleading slide in your talk (3:51), when you compare livestocks, pets, humans and "wild ANIMALS". Animals as we all know include much more than mammals and I would say that there are far more biomass of wild animals (including everything other than mammals but also wild mammals), than humans and livestocks and pets. I think it is important to point out this mistake, because most of people really have an overestimated idea of human importance in the ecological and evolutionary sense, which this comparison (livestock, pets, humans and wild animals) helps to support. All the best,

This is the true inconvenient truth.
