Elephant Moms Carry the Wisdom of Generations | IN OUR NATURE (3)
Just like with the sparrows who don't love the old birds' music, because remember that's
how they pick their mates.
If they don't like the songs, they're not going to mate.
And when cultures at risk, individuals or even species are at risk.
You guys know this term biodiversity?
It's basically one way that we measure the health of ecosystems, right?
On one level you got genetic diversity.
And then on another level above that, you've got how many species there are in a particular
habitat or ecosystem.
And then finally you've got how many habitats and ecosystems.
But I'm realizing when it comes to the diversity of life, that doesn't quite cover it.
For many species, I think there's another dimension of biodiversity, cultural diversity.
And I think we're just beginning to appreciate how rich that is.
We're not so different from these other animals that we share the planet with.
And it makes you think, if our ways of living deserve to survive, don't theirs too?
Something to think about.
We'll see you in the next chapter.
Bye.
Bye.
