Extinction of Species

The video explains extinction, the process by which species cease to exist. It discusses how evolution and adaptation affect species survival, with some species becoming extinct if they cannot adapt to environmental changes. The concept of living fossils, species that have remained unchanged for millions of years, is introduced. The video also covers mass extinction events, such as the K-T extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, and the current alarming rate of species extinction. It emphasizes the importance of stopping habitat destruction and adopting sustainable practices to mitigate this crisis.
