Wildlife in Danger: Threatened Species
While extinction has occurred naturally in the past, and is a normal part of
evolution and the natural order, we are now facing the prospect of mass
extinctions caused by our own poor stewardship of the planet. Scientists
estimate that between one fourth and one half of the planet's species could
disappear before the year 2050. The result would be a biodiversity crisis
unprecedented in the history of the planet Earth! This CD-ROM gives the user an
in-depth look at the issue and offers some potential solutions.
Features:
• 16 specific stories of species extinction
• 30+ minutes of commentary by 13 world renowned scientists
• 286 rare photos of extinct or endangered species
• Maps, explanatory texts, and internet links
• 26 Films
