Good morning.
Today we're at Shaver's Creek Environmental Center,
Pennsylvania.
And I'm here to talk about endangered species.
When we think about endangered species, we don't normally
think about birds.
But this bald eagle, just behind me, was recently
removed from the endangered list.
When we think about birds, the major problem today are
domestic and feral cats.
In the US, each year alone between 2 and 3 billion birds
are killed by domestic and feral cats.
So obviously this is a massive problem.
And we translate these numbers globally.
In this module, we're going to learn about a number of
different endangered species, including polar bears, birds,
frogs, honeybees, and other groups that
are endangered today.
We're going to learn that if we continue business as usual
CO2 emissions, the problem of endangered species will expand
rapidly in the future.
Thank you very much.
