Biodiversity - Why is it Important? | Global 3000

An estimated fourteen million species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms populate the Earth. Do we really need all of them? For humans at least, living amidst a very wide diversity of organisms is one of the most important bases of existence. But current estimates say as many as 130 species go extinct each day.

Can we get closed caption on this video? We love using it in our school district but need CC for our accessibility.

Looked like a great video... and it has good stuff... but when it says "cats feed on birds, " you were responsible then to say we should NOT let this happen and keep cats inside... HUNDREDS of millions each year, which hurts the ecosystems. OR just change it to a non-invasive, native eater of birds... maybe like certain hawks, or squirrels eating bird's eggs, etc.

Its not all human beings to blame, but irresponsible companies, who are bent on profits and shares. Lots of human beings are trying green technologies which are ignored by big corps because they are not profitable
