Dodging Extinction — HHMI BioInteractive Video

This 30 minute video examines the steps that must be taken to avoid the sixth mass extinction. In the sixth lecture of the series "Biodiversity in the Age of Humans," Dr. Anthony Barnosky of UC Berkeley lists the current threats to biodiversity and how they are tightly coupled to human demand for power, food, and money. We can avoid a sixth mass extinction by rethinking how we use energy, how we feed the world, and the value we place on intact ecosystems.
