Vanishing: The extinction crisis is worse than you think
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- We're entering the Earth's sixth era of extinction -- and it's the first time humans are to blame. CNN introduces you to the key species and people who are trying to prevent them from vanishing.
What I find unbelievable is current indifference of society towards something so serious. Denial is the great sin of our generation. The next won't have a choice but to accept it and suffer our inaction, because it will be too late to do anything about it.
Rodrigo Rios Lee people won’t do shit until it’s at their door step .
@@justinferguson9779 By which point it will be too late.
Totally agree, is so frustrating and depressing to see how the people doesn't care about our most dangerous threat. Sometimes I feel really bad and I don't know what I can do, a possible solution requires a global scale politic change, but while most of the people deny the problem and the cause (us) is hard to imagine a real solution of the problem. By now I think the problem is unstoppable, and I'm preparing my self and my family (I don't have kids) to be as much independent and auto-sustainable as I can to try to make front the next decades and I hope to spend my lasts years in peace.
@@rodrobo1979 it's also a lack of any actual solution. The problem is unsolvable inside this civilisation and so a lot of people just switch off because they see that theres nothing that we can do as individuals. Only collective action which destroys this civilisation and replaced it with one capable of living in balance with nature and human nature
This comment summarizes human society today. People have given up and dont care anymore. Nobody said it was going to be easy.
We need to fight and try the best we can
We're under the gross misconception that we are a good species going somewhere important and that at the last minute we will correct our errors and God will smile on us. It is delusion.
Sounds like you have quoted Dr Guy McPherson paxwallacejazz.
Maybe the Rapture....
paxwallacejazz
so you can read minds and hearts? What right do you have to assume that people are trying to change the planet in a day. Wake up and smell the coffee because tomorrow it might be gone.
That's a quote by Farley Mowat
Its not the rapture the rapture isnt real scientist tell us what we are doing to the earth in great detail an people stil chose to not believe....scientists dont lie they habe no reason to they want to better humanity....if science didnt work we wouldnt have cars computers phones....glad i wasnt brainwashed to believe in a skydaddy cuz i might of been brainwashed easy if i was raised on bullshit sense birth
We arrived 300k years ago, and have been wiping out everything in our path since. Pretty soon everything will be gone including us.
roughly 200,000 ago
Shut up
man ,the most dangerous creature on earth.
You mean homo sapiens man would imply males
Truth!!!
@@warlordofvideogameglitches "man" means humankind in the right context. It might not sound politically correct, but it was a correct use of the word.
@@tehdanny682 yeah i get it basically it is non gender
yes especially the morons watching CNN !
I think this justifies my desire to not follow the norms of society. Why should I be another slaved to consumerism? We work and obey superiors, so we can buy meaningless shit. We have lost our souls. We are no longer human, but instead a human resource.
Agree 100% but I cannot scape, I'm trapped. I guess I've lost all my humanity...
Is not conforming actually conmforming to a nonconformest?
I love this comment
I can see u r a good person. I'm so sorry we are living amongst this evil. Be safe. My thoughts are with you.

Oh how sad 😥 🤣🤣
I am 46 and chose not have children for this reason. I do my best to use as little as possible including eating, driving, water, electricity, pesticides and many more luxuries that others don't even have a clue as to the damage they do. I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE HUMAN.
It's too late. We get to be the first generations to watch the death of the planet. Hard reboot millions of years in the future
we spend to much time protecting us and money and not enough on nature and they are the tiniest soldiers

Who here would sacrifice your life knowing, you can save wild life ? Some of the greatest conservationist have lost there lives protecting what they knew was important.
We simply have too many people on this planet...and a lot who couldnt care a less about our planet
And now the amazon rainforest is burning. Tragic.
The silent spring is here!
7:00 "bees are incinerated after 8 weeks in the greenhouse"... sums up the way we treat each other.
Right? wth?
@@maryjanegreen7601 blows my mind; they say that at 17:00 my mistake. i heard a similar argument not to eat honey because they cut off the queens wings so she can't escape. The way they are growing vegetables is seemingly just as unethical as eating meat or honey. The beauty of the market...race to the bottom.
would love to of seen the bee guys reaction to how they treat bees in that greenhouse.
big business is usually run by sociopaths or worse
Yeah, I seriously thought that was fucked up. I saw one giant bumblebee clumsily hover very slowly towards me in the hallway and land on me, they are kind of cute, and you can't help but appreciate what they do. Poor incinerated bumblebees.
I am afraid the concern about climate change is a classic case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted
Except that not only has the horse long since bolted but we have not even shut the door yet. The truth is that
No one has the least idea of how to solve the problem. Even if we really wanted to, it is impossible to
Go back to to a pre industrial society and live a lifestyle like, for example, the Australian Aborigines. People
Are not going to give up their modern way of living, however ecologically desirable that may be. For one,
There are far too many people on the planet for that to be possible. And also, we have not even began
To solve problems which, at least in theory, would be easier to deal with than the climate. It is now been
Said that the Sahara Desert was created not naturally but by changes in weather patterns caused by
Human activity. If that is the case then humans have been changing the climate for not years, decades or
Centuries but for thousands of years.
And it is no good criticizing Donald Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. This is a
Voluntary agreement meaning no action will be taken against countries, which in practice means
Nearly all of them, which fail to cut emissions. There are many things you may dislike about Mr. Trump
But at least he is being honest about the issue, and made it clear before he was elected that he would
Withdraw from Paris. The people one should really blame are those who elected him. He would not
Have been elected had Americans, at least in sufficient numbers, been truly concerned about global
Warming.
And I also think that renewable energy, and I do believe we should develop it as much of it as possible,
Will not be be able to deliver more than a fraction, and probably a small fraction of that, of our energy
Needs. If I am wrong, and I hope I am, then we are going to have to invest a huge sum of money in it.
But we still spend a lot, lot more money on fossil fuels and on wars to keep access to them. The Iraq War
In 2003 is a classic example of this. The war there has cost the USA at least a trillion dollars, and
Probably more, not to mention the thousands of lives lost among the US military and Iraqi
Population. If Iraq had exported coconuts instead of oil, then America would never have
Attacked the country.
Do remember, particularly given the world situation at the moment, the world still has thousands
Of nuclear armed missiles ready to be launched at the push of a button and the possibility remains
That a nuclear war will destroy the human race before the climate, over population and
The depletion of the worlds resources do.
I read the environmental problems of the world in books by the late naturalist Gerald Durrell over
40 years ago now and even then I thought world problems had become too big to be solved. I decided
Then I would never have children. Sad to say, I feel even more strongly today that I had made the right
Choice. It is now only a question of which catastrophe will kill us all off. If any alien visitors come to
Earth and find only a scorched, desolate and uninhabited planet then we shall only have ourselves to
Blame.
Your comment is underrated
I hate CNN but this video was very good. It is important and informative. Our planet is dying and we need to do something about it.
Too late.
Just out of curiosity - did it change your mind? Were you unconcerned with climate change before? I ask because our only hope is if more people can realize the true extent of things who think it’s not that bad or some kind of left wing conspiracy

@@markgigiel2722 it’s literally not😐stop spreading misinformation
As I am writing this from northern California on April 2, 2018, after the disastrous wildfires raging in the northern and southern portion of this great state in the last months of 2017, I thank the people & animals that have made my life special and wonderful. I treasure every minute I have left on Earth before the inevitable is here. Oh, how I wished the human species were made to live with Earth.
How can ppl still be in denial after watching these videos showing proof positive that we are killing ourselves. The earth will be fine but we are in HUGE Trouble And I fear it's too late to do anything about it. We need a plague to get rid of 4 billion, then maybe we've got a better chance. There's no doubt in my mind that if at least half of the humans don't leave this planet in next few years than you should just bend over and kiss your asses goodbye.
please add subtitles! it would be hugely helpful for non-English speakers or people with hearing difficulties. Thanks!
And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"
from the movie Apocalypto
Bad ass movie
We only have 15 years at most. I feel sorry for the beautiful animals and kids who will suffer without causing damage to anyone.
@Alina Vázquez "...kids who will suffer without causing damage to anyone"??? What do you think kids grow up to be? And I don't know about you, but I see PLENTY of cruel kids who cause suffering to other *_weaker_* kids and animals.
Children are remorseless demons. Compassion Free Monsters. Save your compassion for a 49 year old who has lived and lived and learned.
The IPCC report from October, 2018 confirms your suspicions. You have some foresight on you ;)
At least we have 100+ years before society starts to collapse. We don’t have 15 years we have more than a century, and that is enough time to do something.
Saxifenn I don’t think so, more like 20 years. 2100 projection estimates have grossly underestimated feedback loop knock on effects from methane release etc. 20 years max
As more and more people fly, the acidified water vapour condensed by jets is virtually filling the entire atmospheric envelope. High heat deposition into a frigid stratosphere from jet engines is a recipe for an unbalanced weather system.
Elephants are BEAUTIFUL!!!
How does plastic end up in the ocean in first place?
Wind and shipping trash on boats.
Because water flows downward -- all human and animal effuent flows in the seas.
Money is a main driver for all this catastrophes, we should move to a world without money, it's not impossible, good people can make it happen
*Here for school?*
Thank you for the good you all do and for this video for public awareness and action.
Rachel Carson was right. There will be a brief moment of silence before we realise the real world has died... then..
How sad to know we are the bringers of no more than death for so many of our brother and sister earthlings. I am deeply ashamed of humanity. In the West we seem to think only human life counts... and therein lies our error. And we discover it too late. Poetic justice?
Humans! Again...
Warning!!: humanity is entering the state of denial
About 20 years ago, I went kayaking on the Monterey Bay. Depressed that I hadn’t brought a sack to retrieve all the plastic that I found floating amongst the kelp. Damn thoughtless humans.
The world would be just fine..without us.
"Bees are good workers" ... and then "bees are incinerated" ... wow
The sixth extinctions!
Man has never lived in harmony with nature..
In my experience, I have found two general truths about people that really depress me.
1. It's very hard to get people to care for anyone they can't see. People will generally only care when it looks good socially to care. Look at peoples attitudes to the most abused, gentle and volnerable individuals in society - pigs, cows, sheep, chikens..
2. Most people are only interested in social acceptence. It's understandable, but totally immoral once your acceptence comes through your willingness to exploit, dominate and live at the expense of other people, animals and nature.
The dominant culture today is one of self-promotion, dominance, egoism and consumption. How many animals throats need to be slashed, how much plastic ending up in the ocean, how many natives lose their homes, how many trees cut means nothing to most people, as soon as they have to make an actual sacrifice.
A social sacrifice is the most dreaded type.
Everyones "personal choice" to eat animals is currently the biggest global threat to all life on earth.
At least 60% of plastics come from the fishing industry - not people.
The amazons are being deforested to produce beef.
Factory farming is a recipie for a deadly global pandemic.
We are using almost twice as much land area to feed the world animal products - leading to species loss, rescource shortages and contributing to world hunger.
We need to stop treating animals as products. We need to caringly take responsability for animals, not dominate and exploit them just because we can, and like the taste of their tortured bodies.
The solution is a plant based, vegan, ethics and food system..
If we even have future generations
I shared this . . I’m extremely sadden Because I felt this way when I was a lot younger, hoping these days would never come . . . . I still have hope, it’s just slowly diminishing . . We got to make things like this louder and that everyone’s voice and action makes a difference to our planet
''I don't think you can put an economic value on a species, they're all priceless.''
Exactly, every species has just as much right to live as we humans. We shouldn't save species because of their importance to us humans or so future humans could see them. We should save them for their inherent worth as another form of life that inhabits our world that we as humans are decimating.
Funny on a talk show, the host said, "we can figure out a way to make money off it"...
Even for climate deniers, this issue is of your best interest. Places like Pakistan aren't going to even be livable by 2050 if we keep continuing this trend and that's gonna cause mass migration. Just imagine the chaos that can happen from this. I don't know about you, but I would not want to see that happen.
hahahaha
gt3rs 2050 wow you're optimistic. Much sooner.
2050? Hopefully Europe will be at or near Muslim majority in the more populated countries.
I'm gonna be an amused 51 year old when my current MAGA classmates lose their shit when the Syria refugee crisis is dwarfed by an order of magnitude. I can't wait for that high school reunion when I can rub it in their face.
I don't understand why that if people want the ivory, why don't they tranquilize them and cut the tusks off and leave them alive?
Blacks bro... Blacks... Chinese buy it and blacks poach it for them.
The elephant issue could be solved overnight if governments stopped being obtuse and just started farming elephants and selling the ivory.
The people who buy the stuff already pay top dollar for it, so it would be economically viable and it would destroy the market for poachers.
Scarcity. The rarer something is, the more "valuable" to us.
So "greed" is the short answer to your question.
@@demoniack81 You cannot take the ivory and not kill the animal, it is part of their skull. Why do you act like you know ANYTHING about how this works? Or are you advocating we trap an endangered species that has the intelligence of a five-year-old, raise them in small pens, just to kill and sell a product that has no scientific basing of curing any illness?
@@Honey-ik4vd No "honey", I'm not advocating for trapping wild elephants. I'm advocating for raising captive ones like we do with every other animal we want pieces of. Elephants are herbivorous so it wouldn't be THAT resource intensive to raise them, and the tusks from ONE single animal would be worth up to $400,000 at current market prices. That is PLENTY of money to raise an elephant, harvest the tusk and sell them, and doing so protects the wild population.
By the way several parks around Africa have experimented with removing their tusks and it CAN be done, it's just logistically very challenging to do it in the wild on a large enough scale to make any difference.
So maybe you could stop projecting your arrogant spoiled 10 year old brat self onto me, because clearly YOU are the one who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Hell, maybe you could even release the captive elephants INTO the wild afterwards, but I'm not an expert on elephant behaviors and don't know if they would be able to adapt after being bred in captivity.
Whether the product works or not is irrelevant. People evidently keep buying it anyway and that's not gonna change anytime soon regardless of how much you want it to.
People like you who are unwilling to compromise on anything and always want a "perfect" solution (which is never effective enough) are the reason problems don't get solved.
I bet you're against nuclear power and call yourself an environmentalist, as well.
2050? Optimistic, more like 2030
This is horrific. Unacceptably sad.
just stop spraying crap in the air and stop buying the handbags shoes belt wallets and pointless carved trinkets.
See beyond the entrapment of perceived assets of self-worth
The damage is to severe , there is no fixing it now, search Professor Guy McPherson .
Go vegan. That's the best thing you can do. Just every time you shop, you're protesting and doing activism.

Yes, it is worse than we think-much worse. And yet, the vast bulk of humanity is still either unaware of the situation or outright denies that it’s real. In the end humanity will get what it truly deserves--extinction
As a wise George Carlin once said.. the planet is not in trouble, we are!
How can we save the planet if we cant even save ourselves
The planet will just shake us off like a bad case of fleas
Get ready people, we are going away !
You know what's crazy, that these *IMPORTANT* things bearly get views, why oh why are we so selfish, materialistic, and scared OF FACING THE TRUTH THAT THE ISSUES ARE BIGGER THAN US AS INDIVIDUALS AND WE TOGETHER WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO HELP EACHOTHER AND THE PLANET...
Too bad wants are the new craze, not needs. Too bad we are all as split as your split ends are.
Come on guys come together and smile at eachother. Get rid of the fear and step out of your convert zone, step up and say "HELLO" to eachother
Nature cannot cope with the pace of change. As a 'clever' species we congratulate ourselves on progress and development which is the very thing that is going to finish us. Enough is never enough in our flawed consumer system. The pace of change and the continued increase in consumption is driving the destruction and humanity is deluded if they think they can stop it without ditching it's precious luxury lifestyle. We're reaping the repercussions of only ever having financial profit at the front of every initiative. Until that strategy is changed we will have to watch the demise. The banking system is a few hundred years old - the planet is billions. There's only one winner!!
One of the few CNN videos I actually enjoyed.

When all the creatures in the sea, on the land are gone. When all the trees and plants become scarce the only thing left to eat will be money, Bon apetetite.
My friend is a marine biologist and so is his wife in Woodshole at the Cape. They have been sounding the alarm . I was scoffed years ago , in my communities that I would be picking up trash , detaching ponds and areas where people dumped tires, refrigerators and all their lawn debris . Now people still do the same , I recycle , and I in the Southwest I love presently the amount of CARS and I called Clark County ALL politics for not implementing MASS transit to reduce their carbon footprint and yes maybe if we use nuclear was can at least start the process . We consume and the has to STOP, I shop at thrift stores we are truly as science call us “ weeds we spread and destroy “!
We are the most intelligent species on this planet? Really then I would hate to meet the dumbest! Would an intelligent species risk their own survival because of money. Would they allow other species to go extinct around them knowing that any missing one may have a direct impact on their own survival.? Would they pass on a planet to their children and grandchildren that is in its death throes? No we are not intelligent but we are certainly greedy and full of lust for stuff no matter the true cost to us in the long run! So if any alien is looking for intelligent life I would tell them not to stop at this planet as their clearly is none here!
The woman has six children. Does she not realise that this is the cause of our problems?
That whole family put together probably causes less pollution and emissions than half of a single North American. Population isn't as bad as overconsumption. We can live sustainably on this planet with 10 billion people if we switch to clean energy and use land more efficiently for food production.
@@brianmerkosky9243 exactly!!
This report truly breaks my heart. We are supposed to be evolved and intelligent as a species. Us humans are ignorant and fools all for the love of money and greed. God help us because i am scared for our future. I predicted this 30 years ago to my friends and family and now they are listening but i think it is too late. I don't put my trust in man but in God for the Sixth extinction i believe has begun sadly.
Elephants are very intelligent and emotionally aware; as each one gets taken down, a whole family group, or whoever is left, is devastated.
eventually the bottom will fall out on our biosphere and there will be no turning back
this may all ready be happening
The people population needs to slow down globally.
I live in South Central Colorado. In the last 2 or 3 years over 95% of all the small animals, birds, rodents, small mammals, reptiles, and insects have disappeared. Then the wildflowers bloomed without pollinators and didn't come back. Now only weeds survive. A once-thriving ecosystem is gone with little to break the silence but the wind. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is deafening.
Great doc film 🎥 thumbs up!
The problem with Humans, we have evolved to fast, stepped outside constrains of nature without the responsibility for our actions and driven by greed.
Seems like the constrains of nature are going to hit us hard pretty soon.
I love the Animals. If they go extinct I will follow them
we're all doomed
One HUGE problem we (or should I say) future generations will be faced with is our total inability to deal with the vast amount of nuclear waste we are producing, we are currently overwhelmed with THOUSANDS OF TONS of the stuff and we don't have a viable way of even storing the stuff, let alone safe disposal. Nuclear waste is a massive problem in many different ways, chiefly, that is is so very, very toxic to all organic life forms, we, as a species, evolved in the absence of many of the radionucleides that we are producing in our reactors, extremely toxic elements that never existed on this planet during our entire evolution, so we have no immunity to them we can't see, taste or smell them, this is why they are so incredibly lethal, and some of them stay lethal for HUDREDS OF THOUSANDS of years. The very first nuclear or atomic waste was produced in the 1940's it is still radioactive and we still haven't figured out a way of dealing with it, yet we continue to produce the stuff in epic proportions. In the wake of the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters I am utterly astounded at our refusal to heed the warnings from these events, it exposed our complete inability to find a solution to a major nuclear accident, nuclear energy production is still in it's infancy, it is an immensely powerful thing and we don't fully understand the physics involved, but we are NOW learning the terrible price we, (or should I say) our children will have to pay, in our desperate quest for electrical energy.
Nuclear is not emmiting CO2. If we had more nuclear we woudnt face exctintion. I respect your goodwill but between people like Trump and you I am not sure who to blame more for global warming sometimes.
Those audio file difference made me shout when I saw the comparison.

SEVEN CHILDREN! No wonder their having a hard time feeding them!
This is the problem, overpopulation! 7.5 BILLION humans on a planet that can only support 500 MILLION without cheap, abundant OIL, oil is no longer cheap or abundant.
In the developed world, we still consume more than countries where people have seven kids. What we need to do is start consuming resources in a more renewable fashion. Phase off of fossil fuels for example and start using, wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, etc. power is one example.
@KingLink95 We could do both. At the core, the problem is human nature. So the more of us there are, the greater the extent of the problem.
There is actually enough farm-able land to give every person on this planet 1 hectare of land! It's just so badly managed by the modern big agro way of doing things.
How can I get closed captions for this video?
An actually good piece of journalism from CNN

Amy Roser ....FUKUSHIMA DEAR GIRL.......that...is the Problem
The sixth mass extinction has been well underway for some time according to science. Therefore, humankind should be extremely worried indeed that most life forms on earth will soon be gone due to self-imposed climate catastrophe as a byproduct of unmitigated complex human civilization.
For some Celestial reason I stumble upon this video I've been dealing with a nest of bumble bees for the last week and a half trying to remove it from a Evergreen bush most of the bush is gone now and have tried vinegar and water to get them to relocate but the bumble bees persist on their burrow in the lower roots , branches and ground. How can I get them to move without destroying them? Customer and I need the job finished soon.
The fossil record is replete with extinction, not stasis. While I don't agree with unnecessary hunting and poaching and pollution but I do believe that most of what we see happening around the natural world is part of cycles that the earth goes through.
Ah, a video from 2017. Luckily it shocked the world and people changed drastically.
Happy to see that nature is making a promising recovery.
Oh wait..
Pretty cool video CNN....how’s about reporting clearly regarding the underestimate in ipcc reporting...it’s an absolute disgrace in the states and here in Australia that the population knows next to NOTHING about the real truth we’re collectively going to be facing in the next 15-20 years 😭
This should be RUclips's most viewed video!
We must do better. People.
With all the pollution in the water, air and on Earth etc. this doesn't surprise me. This sadness my heart. This world is in such chaos. So many problems and horrible, terrible things happening all around the world.😭
That is not how extinctions work. They don't follow a gradual decline. The decline always follows a downward curve. It is exponential.
@Crannogman86 Yeah...
Keep following that uncertainty theme.
If we had any sort of love or kindness in us ever, at all, we would walk humanity hand in hand into extinction right now so the earth might, I say might have a chance to live on..... without us.
You must put them in prison. Make them know they are wrong
Reading some of the comments below I weep for our future but not for the same reasons. Yikes.
It's actually worse than worse than you think. This is kind of IPCC style happy-happy-fantasy-land -version of reality.
My teacher gave us this video and first thing I literally see is "This video contains graphic content" wtf
I love elephants. I love nature
. I love all of it. I can't understand how people can kill animals. I can't watch this. It physically hurts my heart. My soul is tormented. Please let there be karma. Oh god protect our beautiful animals.
Karan Field yes, protect chickens and pigs and cows as well. All animals are worthy of life. Go vegan
I watch these uploads because I tell myself to be informed. When It comes to the Elephants such an enigmatic and beautiful creature it breaks my heart and it aches for a long time afterwards. I simply couldn't do the job of trying to protect animals like this because I cant conceal what I feel and would be useless out on the continent seeing them butchered and murdered. These people who can do this are stronger than me and I admit I am not strong. I pass on the climate change reality at work and the fact we are indeed entering the 6th extinction event caused by human burning fossil fuels. I tell them every week so they see I'm serious and not just repeating a small section in the news paper. Am I doing enough? I don't know 'cause I'm only me out of 7 billion. I have small hopes but huge doubts that we will not change in time as the small window of time may already be here or have passed us by a decade ago. The uncertainty of all the possible outcomes is enough to make me sick as I need some stability and hope in my future and every human needs this too. I got a feeling this is only going to get worse and people will begin to loose their minds as the reality becomes more pervasive in their lives.
Official things are calculated and predicted..... The reality is even worse
We have a choice - money or life, you would think it was an easy answer, yet, people are unwilling to give up their useless stuff.
When it showed the first elephant killed the guy seemed so sad to talk about it. What has our world become?
The vultures always win in the end.
😂
I do not understand why the dead elephant bodies were not scavenged . Hyenas , Lions , Vultures , Wild Dogs , Cheetahs , Jackals , all not gorging themselves ?
I remember deep blue skies. The skies kids see today is not normal. I have seen a decline in the health of people, animals, trees, oceans and a decline in #s. We must evolve into restoring the world and ourselves. Nurse everything back to health. 💖🌧🌧🌧🌏🌎🌍🌴🌴🌴🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌏🌎🌍🌧🌧🌧💖🌷🌺🐝🐝🐝🌻🌼💖🐆💖🐟🐬🐳🐋💖🦋🦋🦋💖

incoming "fake news" comments
The Dog, fake news in what way? Open your eyes! Elephant populations are definitely dieing because of the fact that they are slaughtered for their tusk's. Wake up!
Well, definitely CNN is better with ecology than politics...
GREED causes it all. Goodbye cruel world I'm of to join the circus.
human parents are the sole perpetrators of the sixth mass extinction. each and every last parent needs to be held directly responsible and accountable. there is no amount of shame too harsh; there is no forgiveness for their murderous cruelty.
Unfortunately, you are right. On the other hand, we don't have a common simple global platform (or, at least, a western world one) and no charismatic sane leaders (like some Gandhi?).
When you do the math right, humans only have about 8 years left here!
P. A. Andrews my boi what the fuck are you talking about. How many times do I have to say this we have more than a century to do something. And only when the century ends and nothing was done, than we
