Guys, we have a serious problem.
And it's called the extinction of species.
I'm not just talking about the demise of
individual species
like polar bears or pandas.
That's truly sad but it's only
the tip of the melting iceberg.
I'm talking about the mass extinction of
thousands of species at the same time.
How's that? Take this example:
A recent study shows that over the last decades Germany lost 75% of its flying insects
and probably the numbers are pretty much the same worldwide.
That's terrible news because we need insects.
without them we can't farm the way we do.
And then eventually we won't have enough to eat.
Biodiversity is vital for us.
The decline of insects is just one of many examples.
The natural extinction rate which
includes all species of animals and plants on earth
has increased by about 1000 times.
We are facing the worst mass extinction since the disappearance of dinosaurs.
Most scientists don't even argue about this, 
there's no controversy.
And yet, most of the public has never even heard of it.
That's where our project comes in.
Our goal is to spread the news
to every human being on planet earth.
Extinction is one of the biggest issues we face.
We want to educate the
public and move people to action.
Through speeches, books, movies, radio, social media -
everywhere.
But of course we can't stop mass extinction all alone.
