We try to develop a relationship with a few non-human neighbors that are still among us, to better know and love our world.
It is hard to care for, protect, or even to mourn those we have no relationship with. In the episode, we try to develop a relationship with a few creatures that are still among us, even if they are imperiled, to better know and love our world. And we end with a last few thorny questions…should we attempt to bring back extinct species? And, how should we think about the future of our own species?
Extinction | The Series:
Extinction might seem to be a pretty simple idea: a species goes out of existence. But a deeper exploration reveals all kinds of thorny questions. What is a species anyway? Is extinction a natural part of the development of life that leads to new life or is it something that should be mourned and stopped? What will happen to our own species? These are only a few of the questions we follow on a journey of creatures here and gone.
