They create niches for other species.

And they make, in my view, a powerful case for the reintroduction of missing species.

It has no view as to what a right ecosystem or a right assemblage of species looks like.

Now, faced with opportunities like that, does it not seem a little unambitious to be thinking only of bringing back wolves, lynx, bears, beavers, bison, boar, moose, and all the other species which are already beginning to move quite rapidly across Europe?

All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own.

And if we really are looking at areas of land of the sort of sizes I've been talking about becoming available, why not reintroduce some of our lost megafauna, or at least species closely related to those which have become extinct everywhere?

And to this day, malaria takes a huge toll on our species.

Only about 12 species of mosquitos carry most of the world's malaria, and we know quite a bit about the kinds of watery habitats that they specialize in.

There's over 20,000 species of bees in the world, and they're absolutely gorgeous.

These bees spend the majority of their life cycle hidden in the ground or within a hollow stem and very few of these beautiful species have evolved highly social behavior like honeybees.

Now honeybees tend to be the charismatic representative for the other 19,900-plus species because there's something about honeybees that draws people into their world.

The very farms that used to sustain bees are now agricultural food deserts, dominated by one or two plant species like corn and soybeans.

All of our beautiful wild species of bees are at risk, including those tomato-pollinating bumblebees.

We are an urban species, at home in our cities.

So a fundamental shift, and now you have environmentalists and economists like Ed Glaeser saying we are a destructive species.

And how we design those urban areas could well determine whether we thrive or not as a species.

It turns out this holds true for other species as well.

But in our effort to reconfigure how we as a species exist on this planet, we must include and take account of all the costs, including the very real human cost of the labor.

Well, when we built our first prototype drone, our main objective was to fly it over a remote rainforest in North Sumatra, Indonesia, to look for the nest of a species of great ape known as the orangutan.

The reason we wanted to do that was because we needed to know how many individuals of this species are still left in that forest.

This is how we see a rainforest, in kaleidoscopic color that tells us that there are many species living with one another.

So our imagery is 3D, it's chemical, it's biological, and this tells us not only the species that are living in the canopy, but it tells us a lot of information about the rest of the species that occupy the rainforest.

And what's amazing is, even though we flew very high above this forest, later on in analysis, we can go in and actually experience the treetrops, leaf by leaf, branch by branch, just as the other species that live in this forest experience it along with the trees themselves.

So what we think, as Earth scientists, is species are going to have to migrate with climate change from the east in Brazil all the way west into the Andes and up into the mountains in order to minimize their exposure to climate change.

Species have nowhere to migrate in a system like this, obviously.

Here you see actual data showing different species in different colors.

Reds are one type of species, blues are another, and greens are yet another.

This tells us where the big biodiversity changes occur from habitat to habitat, and that's really important because it tells us a lot about where species may migrate to and migrate from as the climate shifts.

They need to do and make decisions that will benefit all of the species that they're protecting.

Or, how to deal with a large species like elephants, which may, if their populations get too large, have a negative impact on the ecosystem and on other species.
