    Excellent. I love this message. I feel as optimistic as James. There is much work to do. Let's do it!

    Really scary thought that we even have to ask if it is possible to conserve the beautiful species on this planet. It's crucial to be optimistic and to share our love!

    "conservation is harder than rocket science"
    Yeah... perfectly stated. And the rocket is human's awareness toward our biodiversity and environment I guess

    Sobrang makabuluhan! Tayo din ang nakikinabang, kaya dapat lang nating alagaan ang nasa paligid natin. Kudos! great video indeed.

    I have planted 368 trees 🌳 on my family’s farm and are still growing and they has been an explosion of wild life like some birds I would have dreamed to see like kingfishers wedge tailed eagle rainbow bee eater

      Awesome. I am planting 100 Neem trees. And I am also making the nearest park a bird sanctuary. Than you very much. I hope others do something
      Like what you did.

      @@ravindranathhospital1362 What with the neem tree that make it special? I sometime eat the leaves for a healthy purpose but don't know if it relates to any wildlife habitat. Regards from Java, Indonesia.

    use ecosia to help biodiversity by planting trees when you search :)

    Please do y0ur best to save these species. I mean how hard is it to plant trees and save these species. If you are a child, take care of birds. One million species are facing extinction. Plant trees. Donate to wildlife conservation societies. Please play y0ur part.

    How could the photo be taken in 1968 if we first went to the Moon in 1969?

    • @jiraya350
      @jiraya350 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a picture taken by the Apollo 8 crew, which I believe was the first manned ship to orbit the moon.
      They didn't land on it, that was indeed in 1969.

    But with populations that small, wouldn't you end up with severe inbreeding? What about genetic drift?

    • @noahstrang4477
      @noahstrang4477 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Some species of animal can inbreed for example the rough scaled python is a species of snake that originated from 10 individuals and now they are in the thousands and all of them can be traced back to the original 10.

      Better than being extinct lol everything came from a finite point at one stage. Give it a chance to expand its gene pool once it's a stable population

  • @huckleberryhuckle9934
    @huckleberryhuckle9934 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The
    Problem is that the human population is (at the time of righting this) nearly 8 billion so people need more food and shelter this is why diseases like Malaria and HIV A.I.D.S are in place to keep us in check (you may not agree with me so do not hate me) and we will keep on growing and growing until we have nothing left

    He failed to mention how real conservationist and hunters saved the White-tailed Deer!

    • @gooseb77
      @gooseb77 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You mean to say how real conservationists and hunters saved the wolves that were killed off by deer hunters in the early 1900's. Deer over-ran and over ate thousands of plant species, most of which went extinct, because hunters originally thought of wolves as competition for their prize deer. Hunters killed off wolves to functional extinction. Now, that has changed and since the reintroduction of wolves into the population more and more plants are able to flourish due to a more natural balance of prey and predator. Education is key! Hunters are definitely the biggest advocates we have for conservation. Coming from both a hunter and conservationist, we have to look at both sides of the table to prevent the loss of any piece of the complex puzzle we call an ecosystem. A good read on this topic would be Aldo Leopold's Green Fire.

    But what about all these conservationists flying to everywhere for their research expeditions thus helping the co2 levels increase and accelerate global warming affecting the species?
