Episode Information
Extinction, a daunting and confusing word. A force of nature, that sees the end of species, but also heralds the birth of others. Right now the extinction rate could be as much as 10,000 times faster than it should be. We are almost certainly living through a mass extinction event unlike the world has ever seen before. 20% of fish, a fifth of all reptiles and a staggering quarter of known mammals currently face extinction. If we are to do anything to stem the tide of extinction we must understand the lifestyles and habitats of those in danger.
