Summer is
always filled with a lot of impressions. And the Darwin Museum continues to
delight its visitors. Now, tired of wandering through the numerous halls of the
museum, you can allow yourself a little rest, settling down on comfortable
poufs at the end of the hall "Interaction of Man and Nature" in front
of the big screen. Thanks to the unique footage and high quality of the film,
you will not be bored, and you will not have time. In just 6:21 minutes, you
will see the complex path of the evolution of life on Earth, accompanied by
five ecological crises that led to global extinctions of species on Earth. And
if at first the reasons for the disappearance of living organisms on the planet
were mainly caused by climate change, ocean level, volcanoes, collisions with
asteroids, then the sixth ecological crisis arose solely due to human fault.
And this is not only another reduction in the number of species. We have
approached a dangerous line beyond which extinction threatens humanity. It is
time to correct our mistakes. Our planet is capable of feeding all people
without harming wildlife, if we use modern technologies and take care of
natural resources. It is already possible to deliver heat and water to places
where they are in short supply for life on Earth. Space exploration continues
and everything is being done to prevent space-level disasters that have
repeatedly threatened our nature in the past and may threaten in the future.
People from almost all countries agree to gradually abandon the use of
substances that destroy the ozone layer. Now the future depends on us.
The video
exhibition "The Sixth Extinction" is an integral part of the theme
"Interaction of Man and Nature", its logical conclusion, drawing
attention to the complex problems of our time, calling to stop and think.
The authors
of the script are Vitaly Kontorshchikov, Senior Researcher of the Ecology
Department, and Olga Gvozdeva, Head of the Ecology Department. The RUPLAY
