Will India’s Asian Elephants Go Extinct? | The Mass Extinction (Part 1/2 Full Episode)

India is home to around 27,000 Asian elephants, it's the world’s largest population of the species. The country may be the species’ main stronghold, but its survival here is now under threat due to climate change.
The elephants' sensitivity to heat leads to metabolic disorders, oxidative stress, immune suppression and death. It also reduces their reproduction rates.
42% of their habitat in India will be lost due to the combined effects of human pressure and climate change. The elephants are likely to shift towards higher elevations in the Himalayas.
Animal activists, along with the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change in India, are battling to create a green corridor to help the elephants migrate.
Can the Asian elephant survive these modern threats to its existence?
===============
ABOUT THE SHOW:
The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that by 2100, an estimated 50% of all the world’s species - up to 1 million animals and plant species - are at risk of extinction because of human activities.
We traverse across India and Philippines to understand how climate change and rising temperatures are lowering the survival rates of the Asiatic elephants and the green sea turtle.
We also investigate how human exploitation of animal habitats and pollution are exacerbate the negative impacts of climate change. Many experts say a “mass extinction event” - only the sixth in the past half-billion years - is already underway.
Cooler habitats have been earmarked as a way for species to "escape" from warming climates. However, most species won't be able to do this quickly enough to avoid extinction, based on their past rates of movement.
In this 2-part series, we go deep into the jungles and oceans around Asia and meet activists and environmentalists trying to save our animals from extinction.
