In natural history museums all over the world, you can come face-to-face with the ghosts of extinction, which has been going on as long as there has been biological life. Over 99% of all species that have ever existed on Earth are extinct, but extinction usually happens slowly. However, we are now living through the more rapid Sixth Mass Extinction, caused by human actions.
Prof Dolly Jørgensen will share stories from over 80 museums worldwide.
