The Species Alliance website, opening with this riveting statement,"Human beings are on the verge of causing a mass extinction of life on Earth. A majority of the world's biologists now believe that if current trends continue, half of all species of plants and animals living today will be extinct in less than 100 years. However, the general public is almost entirely unaware of this crisis...Although we are in the eleventh hour, there is still a chance to halt or significantly mitigate the extinction. Since the human species is the cause of the present crisis, it also has the power to stop it", is producing a documentary in the manner of "An Inconvenient Truth". "Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction," narrated by Peter Coyote, features a stellar list of scientists. See the full trailer here. It's quite well done. TreeHugger looks forward to the full release.
