    根據聯合國政府間氣候變化專門委員會的預測,在2100年來臨前,全世界約有一半的物種——即多達一百萬種動植物——將會因為人類活動而有滅絕的風險。本輯節目會走訪印度和菲律賓,嘗試了解氣候變化和溫度上升如何降低亞洲象和綠海龜的存活率、導致糧食短缺、繁殖成功率下降,以及對本土野生動物的居住環境造成干擾;沿途我們還會調查一下,人類過度開發動物棲息地和污染問題如何令情況惡化。 很多專家都指出,地球正面臨所謂的「物種大滅絶」,而今次僅是過去五億年來的第六次。雖然遷往較涼棲息地被視為物種逃離暖化氣候的一個方法,可是根據大部份物種過往的遷徙速度,牠們根本走避不及,難逃絕種的命運。 一連兩集,我們將會深入亞洲叢林、海洋和自然棲息地,與一眾環保分子及專家見面,嘗試拯救我們瀕臨絕種的動物。

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that by 2100, up to 50% of the world’s species-about 1 million animals and plants-are at risk of extinction due to human activities. Rising temperatures and climate change reduce food availability, reproduction success, and disrupt habitats, threatening species like Asiatic elephants and green sea turtles in Asia. Human exploitation, pollution, and climate change exacerbate these impacts, driving a mass extinction event. Cooler habitats offer limited refuge as species cannot migrate fast enough. This two-part series explores these challenges and highlights activists’ efforts to save wildlife. Additionally, salt’s role in climate impact and green energy innovations is examined as a potential tool for sustainability.
