Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty.
In the last 50 years we’ve lost more than 4,000 species that are vital to their habitats.
These animals played an important role in the support of their ecosystems. Some were predators and some were prey, but they all had one natural enemy: Man.
As humans grew in numbers, these animals were overhunted, exposed to pesticides, and driven into smaller and smaller habitats. The land was needed for the King of the Beasts.
It’s 90 seconds to midnight, and our wildlife suffers under the heavy burden of human encroachment. From logging to drilling for oil, overdevelopment of wild lands to water diversion, animals are disappearing, never to be seen again.
