so what is the sixth extinct?the implication obviously is there have been five earlier extinctions and that is exactly the case. so what you're looking at here in this graph is an analysis of the ma mama -- marine fossil record. what you're saying on the bottom on your left, is time before the present measured in millions of years. so 600 million years up to zero, up to the present. and where you see the big dips, those are opinions when the number of marine families suddenly dropped. and if you remember from introductory bio family is a group that is just before a genus. so goes species genus family, and if even one species from a family survived, that family counts as a survivor. so, at the species level the losses at this point were much greater than reflected in this graph. so these five major mass extinctions and many minor mass extinctions but this are sometimes referred to as the big five and they're simply moments when geology include speaking moments, short amounts of time when the diversity of life on th

in the world where 70% to 80% of everything went extinct. they have stuck around through eyes ages, but there's a chance they will go extinct because of our activities and mainly because of collecting. >> two thirds of all the species are threatened, making them the most endangered organisms on the planet. they are disappearing because they are approached to supply wealthy private collectors. the gardens in cape town have some of the rarest, some have been growing here for 100 years. they are no longer safe. the garden staff has had to install sophisticated alarms and motion sensors this because in august last year, thieves came during the night and dug out 23 critically endangered plants. in the wild, there's only 60 left. south africa's top criminal investigation team, the hawks has been brought in, but this operation was well planned and executed. they are very slow to reproves, so the theft put back years of painstaking work to increase their numbers. >> we monitor them, we measure them, we see when they cone, their sizes and so on. it f

some species of fish are extinct, so it would probably be difficult to survey them. narrator: so to put current research in the right context, jackson compares it with historical records and archeological evidence painting as accurate a picture as possible of the oceans before human disturbance. this picture is called a baseline. dr. jackson: the baseline is the way it used to be. but every generation of fisheries' biologists makes a new baseline when they start their career. and so the fisheries' biologists from 30 years ago -- their baseline was maybe 10% of the fisheries' biologists' baseline from the generation before. this is an example of the shifting-baseline syndrome. it's an incredibly important idea. it's the most important idea about understanding the environment and human impact on the environnt. you cannot understand the problem just by looking at the way the world is now. narrator: so jackson looks to the past. and while he researches all of the human impacts on the ocean like pollution and global warming his focus has been on the effects of overfishing

i think of the extinction as a three-part process. you may not be able to get past any one of them but the first part is try to create a few individuals from the species. if you can't do that nothing else matters. if you do that then the second part would be try to create a captive breeding population. see if you can get mammoths to breed with each other in captivity, and while they're doing that while they're in captivity, study them to see is it safe to put them in the wild? could they live in the wild? how would they affect the wild? only then if you have a big breeding population and you concluded from studying them it's safe to put them out there, safe for them and the rest of us put them out in the wild and see what happens. >> is there any chance we will see a jurassic park and bring back dinosaurs? >> yeah i don't think so. i have mixed feelings about it. you remember what happened to the lawyer in the first "jurassic park" movie. i think this is a real possibility. i think mammoths and saber tooth cats and giant ground sloths

and surveying in the savanna, saving congo's wildlife from extinction. it sounds like something from a horror movie. giant chasms which open up without warning, swallowing everything, and everyone, in their reach. unfortunately, these hidden monsters of the deep are all too real. they're called "sinkholes," and they occur all over the world. the 2010 guatemala city sinkhole, for example, opened up in the aftermath of a tropical storm, swallowing a three-story building and taking 15 people down with it. the same year in germany, a large crater opened up overnight pulling a nearby caller into its depths. in siberia sinkholes tend to be caused by melting pockets of subterranean gas. another place that is especially hard hit is the us state of florida, where experts say thousands of sinkholes form each year. we bring you this report. >> we're on the road from orlando to tampa, in central florida. the area draws tourists from around the world. but the sunshine state also has a darker, more ominous side to it, and that's what we've come to investigate. a road
