Here is another upcoming documentary that is worth watching for biol buffs. The Loneliest Animals discusses the rapid depletion of today's biodiversity. Here is a preview.

Wow, Most of us are focused on the mind set that humans come first, and everything else is second to us. That is a rediculous amount of species that are wiped out from tropical deforestation every years....

Thanks for the heads up Rod... looks very interesting, shows like these should be part of the school curriculum.

Also don't miss Richard Proenneke "Alone in the wilderness" same channel a few hours later, it is an excellent account of living with nature.

Oh no! I missed the program that I reminded everyone to watch. :'( I got so distracted after dinner with Chris about our little tipping fiasco, forgot to turn on the TV. ::) There should be a replay later this week.
