09. Biodiversity Decline
Species are being lost at a rapid rate in rainforests and coral reefs. Yet many species still have not been discovered. Tropical scientists struggle to keep ahead of the bulldozers as they work to understand this complex ecosystem. And an ocean biologist predicts the death of life and the "rise of slime" in the sea. How can we protect the biodiversity of these vulnerable ecosystems?

The Habitable Planet is a lost Annenberg series that focused on the conditions that make a planet habitable for life. The series likely explored the various factors that contribute to a planet's ability to support life, such as its location in the habitable zone, the presence of liquid water, and the stability of its climate. It may have also discussed the search for habitable exoplanets and the possibilities of finding life elsewhere in the universe. The series was likely a comprehensive examination of the science behind habitability, aimed at providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating topic.
