“The Cove” Director To Film “The Singing Project” On Extinction

Louie Psihoyos, director of the award winning documentary, The Cove, plans to shoot a documentary on mass extinction, The Singing Project, with the assistance of The Oceanic Preservation Society.
“We’re shooting a 3D film about the mass extinction of wildlife caused by humanity — I think it’s the biggest story out there right now,” Psihoyos said in an interview with Momentum.
He may be right. In an article from Scientific American, 10 Animals That May Go Extinct In The Next 10 Years, threats to the animals existence discussed are repeatedly human based.
The Iberian Lynx, for example, who’s numbers are thought to be around 100 or so, have fallen to habitat destruction, collisions with vehicles and poaching. The Sumatran orangutan has lost its habitat to logging and fires. And no, it doesn’t appear to be arson caused by other angry apes.
