I suggest everyone to watch the video until the end. I presented what we know about the current biodiversity loss situation AND what we have done and can do in response to it. For those of you who are going to call me "fear mongering" in the comments, please focus on the latter half of the video and take your time to check my sources, linked in the description. I know pessimism and more anxiety won't do us anything good in this situation. But this channel just tries to present scientific data, and for this video the data just happens to be depressing. And that makes it important to talk about the problems and the solutions alike. On top of it, the urgency of the situation is not to be downplayed.
As stated above, I would like to have watched it but couldn't because of the annoying and unnecessary noise that prevented me from listening to the commentary.
Check you stats. There is high uncertainty with the backgound genesis. The monitoring of species in general are pretty inaccurate as a whole. All ocean life is fine, declined but far from extincton. There is many paleonthoogists that refuse to cal it a mass extincton, how is that possible if 80% of wildlife died since 1500 as you claimed? The decline of the pleistocene mega fauna and the fact that after the holocene optimum the Sahara became a desert when it got colder, leading to a decline in biomass and diversity are lost in your anthrpocentric time frames. The one thing that is accurate is the oss of insect diversity due to intense monoculturing. However this is a fraction of the planet, regional if not local.
Some future civilization, millions of years from now, is probably going to notice a huge gap in the fossil record where we used to be and go "what the fuck happened?"

glad you’re back man, still blows my mind how you haven’t taken off, the quality of your videos is insane and you just gotta keep pushing, you will blow up, keep them coming and keep doing you, ill be here to watch you fly💜
Glad to see you're back with another first-class professional video on a very important topic. I can only imagine the time and effort you put in to making these videos - top marks!!!
"first class professional" 🤭 All these graphs are not carved into stone truths. There is a lot of uncertainties with what is due to human impact and natural variability. Uncertainty with monitoring wild life on a global scale. Uncertainties in the background dieng and genesis. If all these graphs were plain correct, no one would even have to argue that a mass extincton is happening.
Sir you are very very accurate "The progress humanity has achieved will be undone." It's really going to happen in future. All technological advancements will be lost and that small group of humans would have village life.
You want that a lot. The boring truth is we barely have any impact on the planet. Nothing will happen, there is no threat. Humans will live and die and in the end are nothing but part of nature.
Damn bro you're really such an underrated creator I hope you'll get the attention you deserve. Also your editing presentation looks so professional; quick question, what editing application do you use? Because your video essays are really quite awesome and intriguing. Honestly I subscribed to your chanel because of it. I really appreciate your work man❤❤.....Also what do you do for a living?
Thanks, I appreciate that! I use After Effects to edit and animate most of my videos. I'm a graphic designer at the moment, but I'm hoping to become a full-time content creator.
This video deserves way more views and likes. You did a fantastic job in explaining the situation, animating everything and putting together all those resources! I think creating a spark of anxiety is necessary to induce people into action.
You are impressed to easy. Alone the statement tha 80% of species die since 1500 is a joke. This whole issue is way less sharp and to be put down in numbers as seemingly happening here. If you want a professional view on this, watch paleo- professors and students hour long talks and you will see that most do not even agree on calling it a mass extincton.
This style of editing is so chill, insightful, and awesome man! In just 5 months, you've only garnered 4.7 thousand views. And I hope you get more recognition for your work, goodjob and never give up bro ❤🔥
incredibly well made video, glad you cover the mass megafauna extinctions of the recent past which are so often overlooked when we talk about ecosystems today
Well ironicly it is overlooked, since he does a clear cut with his 1500 ad nonesense. In fact this pleistocene and within the holocene biodiversotydecline after the optimum, are mixed in and lost and not as easily to seperate from the human "impact" as it may seem in this video. All these graphs are debatable and i can not even check on them, where are the sources?
Crazy how us humans are so blessed with a godlike awareness of the world around us and the beautiful harmony within, yet we have such a predisposition for selfishness and destruction.
Could it be the other way round? That we are so anthrpocentric that we think we are so influencial and important that we seperate from nature. That our "impact" on the planet is way overestimated and that atention whores sell us a threat, like in a guilt based cult?
I also just have to be real, its just really depressing just watching these events go worse and worse, and having no power to do anything about it And seeing society not care about it, it just feels desperate and hopeless The barely 6 achieved targets from Aichiplan really hit the nail in the coffin
Ima be 100% with you, theres no stopping this as sad as it sounds. Youd literally have to burn down society as a whole globally and build it from the ground up to make any sort of difference and even then it absolutely wouldn't last, then we'dend up in the same place again now with more blood on our hands. In the first time in our planets history that we know of will a singular complex organism consciously cause the demise of itself and millions of other species across the planet.
You doomers all give the vibe that you actually can not wait for the "end". The truth is earth is fine and we humans have little impact. Now why is that no relief to you if it was true?
The holocene is ending and will mount into the next glaciation for the coming 90k years. Like the last 40 interglacials and no tiny human will change anything here. Sorry: We are just not important
I think that unfortunately we have to improve education and schools first, so that children in the future make more proactive efforts than the adults today. Its a collective effort by people, and the government, one which isnt really seen that much in todays world.
The factor that worries and scares me the most is the dizzying growth of the human population in recent history. Now, I don't know if what I'm about to say has much to do with this topic, but in Europe, and I think in general in Western countries, I increasingly hear couples saying they want fewer and fewer children, or not at all. Well, although it may seem like a negative thing at first glance, I actually believe that from the point of view of the world population it could be, if not positive, at least a little hope. Does this make sense?
Not who but what will survive. Complex life forms have zero chance to live thrive and survive... I am not offended to realize the end of mass human infestation.
Et juste cette perte de diversité n’est pas aussi rapide que celle crétacé - paleogène car il y a pas vraiment une perte de diversité chez les dinosaures a la fin du crétacé le seul groupe qui a vraiment un manque de diversité est selui des sauropode a par eu les tyrannosauridé, dromaeosauridae, hadrosauridé, céraptien et les Ankylosauridé ce diversifie mais c’est vrai que côté des pterosaur car il ne reste pas beaucoup de famille d’espèce mais sinon c’est une très bonnes vidéo qui m’appris des choses
Et en réalité je ne pense pas que l’humains soient programmé pour déduire car il existe encore des personnes qui respecte et vive grâce à leur environnement sans pourtant le dégradé et nuire à la biodiversité
It’s so sad so many massive animals such as megalodon paleoloxodon megatherium titanoboa paraceratherium and many other impressive animals went extinct because of an ape
This is unlikely. There was only a fraction of human population around back then. All the megafauna disapeared because of the changes in glaciation when Antarctica froze over after moving to the south pole and with all the interglacials within. Titanic Boa is a relict from the holocene optimum, when it was way warmer and the Sahara was green, has zero to do with us apes.
I don't really feel like double checking, so sorry if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure at least 2 of those were already gone by the time we started walking around.
We have caused much exctintion but not ALL extinction. We need to stop being so wasteful. Mass hunting deer is fine. Their population recovers super quickly. We need to make more fisheries instead of mass fishing though. We'll never get enough people to listen is the problem. Too many problems to list here.
Educating the general public is important. Getting as many people aware of the problems will lead to more informed decision making and most importantly demand for better regulations. Achieving the diversity goals set by the UN is only possible if the international community is aware of these existential threats we're facing.
We still can’t go hunting deer without knowing their numbers. Sustainable hunting requires to know animal populations and their environment. More and more forests are being destroyed because of us. Some game animals only likes to live in big, untouched and old forests etc. Their populations are in decline. Fisheries may not be a good solution. Fish face extreme stress and are vulnerable to many diseases. They need to be heavily medicated. How can we be sure that these chemicals won’t escape fisheries?
Cheetahs did it to themselves also i have an idea for cheetahs add them to north America to replace American cheetah where they can hunt the speed demons without hunters those America gazelle things
Sigh... Only if more people would turn vegan... unfortunately can't think of anyone I talked with that wanted to listen. It's such a simple concept, but human selfishness knows no bounds
you have to understand that veganism requires substantially more farmland, and thus substantially more habitat loss. we aren't intended to be exclusively sustained off of plants, it isn't easily feasible, affordable, nor is it efficient. the real problem is our population; there's far too many of us, and we've overstepped our boundaries. however, killing millions of people is immoral, and suddenly stopping reproduction not only oversteps human rights that people would be willing to part with, but also creates problematic generational gaps. we've ruined ourselves, and the most we can do is soften the blow.
dude we're omnivores. you're going against nature by saying we ALL have to go vegan. and wouldnt plant life drastically decrease?? do you actually care about life or are you looking for back pats and cookie points?
@@svedrics are you silly? if every human switched to an herbivourous diet, the farmlands would HAVE to increase. More people eating one sepcific thing leads to the production of that thing to increase.
@@xavgmng Relax dude, why so hostile? Also how would farm land increase? Are you using your intuition or have you read research papers or listened to scientific studies. Most of the farm land is used for animals feed.
that idea is insanely dumb and could lead to more death and destruction the UN doesnt need more power and that would make it just more corruptable just like all the other countries out there. do you really want to live in a world with an authoritarian United Nations? thats FORCED unity which isnt REAL unity. that is the Star Wars Empire levels of control lmao
