Stop animal agriculture… evolve to plant based farms. The easiest thing for anyone to do is to stop eating animal products. It's healthy for us, the environment, and it liberates the animals who share the planet with us.
Que bien … !
Interesting very intresting hmmm
moving yes
Great video 👌
ahhh yeh thats not gonna happen, just say goodbye lol its almost over

i'm watching this in school, i also just want to say thank you for the vid
Greetings! You have very informative videos and this particular video has creative commons license, can this be uploaded to a certain page for educational purposes? I would be glad to hear from you soon. Thank you
what a lovely video!
Because if it was only humans it would be boring .
Indeed. And humans don't own the planet. It is not there for us to just use as a commodity, for our food and leisure. Biodiversity is good for the planet, but in this video it is all about why it is important for humankind. I think that is really egocentric. Especially when they pretend as though things are going better due to our help. No, it was ruined by us in the first place and it can heal perfectly well without our help. The planet will do fine without us. No, it wil do great without us. Because yes: nature does not need mankind, but mankind needs nature.
Sir Attenborough favorite forever❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
dis is epik
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:06 🌿 The Role of Spider Monkeys
– Spider monkeys play a crucial role as "unwitting climate activists" by spreading seeds of tropical hardwood trees in their dung.
– This contributes to the growth of forests, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
– Demonstrates how millions of interactions like these ensure a healthy planet.
01:09 🌍 Importance of Protecting Biodiversity
– There are approximately 1.6 million documented species, but possibly 7 or 8 million more undiscovered.
– Emphasizes the significance of protecting biodiversity, especially lesser-known organisms that play a vital role in maintaining a healthy planet.
– Biodiversity provides essential resources like food, medicine, and protection from flooding.
02:41 🌎 Threats to Biodiversity
– Discusses various human actions that are detrimental to biodiversity, such as habitat changes, hunting, and climate change.
– Highlights the severe consequences of climate change on wildlife, citing the Great Barrier Reef as an example.
– Raises the question of what actions are needed to address the biodiversity crisis, including cutting carbon emissions and protecting biodiversity hotspots.
04:15 🦜 Conservation Efforts
– Showcases successful conservation efforts, like the reintroduction of White storks in England and the restoration of mountain gorilla populations in Africa.
– Emphasizes the importance of hands-on management and community involvement in conservation.
– Encourages a holistic approach to global development that works with nature and involves affected communities.

PRETTY PICTURES #sirsir #theattenborough #spelling? #yeahboi #gome
This video is good for biology especially for year 5 beginners to secondary school.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice!
If you actually think that biodiversity is important, why continue your organisation (Royal Society)? The British Royal Family are colonisers who have an extremely bad environmental record which also involves genocide against indigenous people who helped many environments before they were genocided.

It is an interesting video!
hey sir david!
so there are no gay species?
exactly. nature is not gay.
Yesterday, I raised a question whether any human had been selected in their kingdom in their records where they have given a reply https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yai8xXzBIg
Bio integrity v. Biodiversity
• same family
• distant relatives
• same caste
• intercaste
• inter race
• inter 👽
• inter 🌈
•°
They responds https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GJg1GVmQZmo

Do you listen how they freezes us using mind-blowing?
God man and nature and more events and other stories and facts and interesting things like different people and family and far more information please watch this video 📸❤
beautiful documentary!!
beautiful documentary!!
This is a wonderful video, we are responsible to keep biology in the world diverse.
thank you – please can we be informed about day by day action on protection & restoration in the areas of greatest damage. Please can we have stronger pressure on all national governments to halt forest destruction. Please can we have huge international efforts to convert desert areas to green experimental 10,000 acre zones.
You explained how every things work very well thank you
thats crazy
I ❤ David Attenborough.
Sorry I'm Late
Futile. Humanity is incurable.
Nice video
