讲座简介：
The diversity of mammals is declining, and, most likely, will continue to decline.
Most people are very aware of the idea that world-wide there is,
and has been, an increase of the temperature. People are less aware of the enormous increase in CO2 since the Industrial Revolution, and the impact that this CO2-increase
has on mammals. The third major change the world is facing is habitat modification and habitat destruction: wild mammals are losing their habitat.
The fourth major change is the enormous increase of domestic animals that are replacing wild mammals.
