What If We Set Aside Half the Planet for Wildlife?

- About 65 million years ago, a mass extinction event occurred, wiping out more than 75% of all species on Earth. There have only been 5 mass extinctions in our planet's 4.5 billion year history. But the next one has already started. By the end of this century, one in six species on Earth could be gone. Will humans go with them?

“Humans are unreliable.”
the way he said “unreliable” gave me the chills
He's a freck'n *Alien* run!
He's like you *huummans* are UNRELIABLE.
stamp?
crispin. 1:13
but unreliable he meant that humans are destroying the whole world
Imagine half of the world being pure nature that would be so cool
Yeah but we ruined it😒
Yep...its cool. But which part of the of the world can change like that?
@@lucajones4234 true honestly we should just take care of the forest, grasslands, animals, plants, and natural environment that was already here
@@leslimendez9651 we can still change tho
@Ariel Gualotuna yup
“Just like they need us”..the thing is, they really don’t need us
True but also without humans other species may start evolving starting the cycle all over again and unlike us who have started to realise our mistakes god knows how much time it will take that species to realise their mistakes and who knows maybe a billion years ago some other species might be incharge that just went extinct and someone among them might have said the same thing
True
Domesticated animals like dogs and cats DO need us.
@@ferndevil5771 No, they really don't. They "need" us because we've forced them to need us through centuries of forced domestication. If humans suddenly disappeared, in a few generations, cats, dogs and other domesticated animals would integrate into the wild and begin thriving there. They would be much stronger and way more self-reliant.
@@deviantmoore9744 That is true in a way, I didn't say we never forced domestication back then, I said in the PRESENT they need us.
Humans : What if we keep destroying the nature like we do now?
Earth: Well, that's a story for another extinction..!!
A Google user lmao so tru

@Joy Shekhar Dutta Earth has always been the only one to survive, so at least she’ll know the story, maybe she can give hints to a new species of humans in the super distant future of what happened

What if instead of making 50% of earth human free, we make every country 50% free of humans, only 50% of the land can be used for civilization rest nature/wild reserve, that could work better every one has clean air that way
Yeah! Tell that to your 1.4 billion people...
Thats what he meant.....I mean dividing whole planet isn't possible without a world war
Dharam Singh thats an incredible idea. Too bad people dont really care about that
We need to start lowering population (not a mass slaughter or anything) just our reproduction rate, and I know that's a difficult thing to do as well

What if we implement the same idea on each country basis. Each country on its geographical location needs to decide which part they can dedicate for wildlife and nature. A debate on this subject will bring some healthy results
I'll stay in the "no human" side and pretend to be a carrot.

“Animals need us as much as we need them”
Not true at all. If humans disappeared most life on this planet would flourish compared to how it is now. But if they disappear we’re screwed. We need them way more than they need us.
We don't need cockroaches
Last Nyanmurai they are one of the most wide spread decomposers which help out the environment by breaking down dead plants and animals and leave waste/poop in order to fertilize new plants
The420Chronicles Nah we need animals they dont need us! They only need us to stop eating and exploiting and killing them for fun.
Uh dude
Since when was it ever a good idea to delete a whole species?
When has it ever been good for the ecosystem? Humans are at the apex more or less, rats/pigeons/crows all kinds of animals depend on us for food, but other animals rely on us so they dont become food, using the corners of our turf to avoid predators
We ARE apart of the ecosystem, its physically impossible not to be
People aren't getting the point of this comment. No other animal species is directly harming us, leading us to extinction. But we are destroying their habitats and stealing their homes for our pleasure and needs, while heating up the entire planet.
I'm crying right now.I figured this out on my own and now I see this! I feel totally validated.Everybody acted like I was crazy when I tried to explain this. Thank you so much

Sustainable Mindset People: "If we were to use alternative energies, be more mindful of our waste and emissions, we could fix a lot of the damage we've done."
E. O. Wilson: "We should take humanity...and push it somewhere else!"
What if said only about 1/7 of the population, so it's not humanity as a whole
Well.. Push humanity to mars
We could keep some humans in spaceships, Mars, the moon, for this to work we would have to expand I the solar system.

@@genosvarmillion8614 we literally have the desserted moon not that far away from us. It would be ideal for countries to start moving their civilizations to the moon while living their territories on Earth for wildlife. That way, we can build as much as we want, and our planet can become an intergalactic natural reserve.

WillBurhans don't go off-topic now. And yes I enjoy my games.
kenetic182nd fine let’s stay on the topic, anyone who makes these comments that are anything like “humans are ruining the earth” are just people asking for likes.

Well, consequences are you wouldn't stop watching what if videos, and thats what happening with
Great content btw I always like to imagine different things and curious about others

Hey bro
I like how stuff would prosper for a while then just collapse because a lot of stuff depends on us and all it needs to rebound is for us to leave them alone for awhile
Dude I was imagining that like a couple days ago holy crap
what if we had 2 hearts?
well that's a story for another what if
Well thats a story for another doctor who.
For another heart we need twice as many blood for circulation hence the physiology of humans would also change along with body heat, and how would that 2nd heart connect, through the 1st hear t from the pulmonary artery or will there be an entirely different circulatory system.
Shion Yorigami k sorry scientist
Shion Yorigami and ofc a bigger supply of oxygen to sustain the blood
Shion Yorigami well u could have one lung and replace the lost lung with a heart and connect it
Easiest formula for videos: "Q: What happens if this occurs?" "A: We all die." Rinse and repeat. Nice.
And interesting and fresh
Have you ever thought how much we miss this guys voice in the videos? Well thats a story for another what if
wow your channel is great
That may be a smart move. Despite how wonderful humanity is, we do cause some degree of environmental degradation. Allowing nature to reclaim herself may actually help us in the long run.
-Pedantia Science channel
Yeah but we are to many and many people don't want to lose their home
Well said. Great channel BTW Pedantia.
@@eric11 Agreed.
I suppose an offer can be made to these people that is of greater value than their homes. It would still be difficult, though.
What if : No thou shall die
Take a look at Chernobyl. Even though that happened. Without a whole lot of human incursions the wildlife is taking hold of the exclusion zone
"fun isn't something someone considers while balancing the universe, but this, this puts a smile on my face"
