I saw the title and asked myself 'what are human not exploiting'? We are everywhere like a bad disease!

The lady @11:00 is absolutely convinced mining the ocean floor is an alternative and will save rain forests. She forgets if they aren’t doing it, other people will be. The producer or consumer will still not care where the minerals came from. Sad world

AS ALWAYS IT IS GREED! Profits now, never worry about consequences. Our oceans are down to being almost fished out. I am old and have been aware of this since I was 14. Now I am a grandfather to four wonderful kids and feel ashamed of what planet we are giving them.

Greed and ignorance is the perfect recipe for disaster... And humanity is in no shortage of theese...🙆

Human beings dig immense mines in search of rare minerals, transport what they find for thousands of kilometers where they will be refined and transformed into raw material for sophisticated electronic products. These goods, sold at high prices, became trash in less than a decade. Their obsolescence is programmed. Recycling the minerals used in these things is troublesome, not always economically viable. No matter how much rare ore is available in the trash, new mines need to be discovered and exploited, now even at the bottom of the ocean. The logic of electronics production is the constant waste of increasingly rare and expensive materials. This is a fundamental flaw of modern economics that economists prefer not to even discuss. How long should a smartphone last? The one I'm using now is 2 years old. Hopefully it will continue to work reasonably well for another year before the battery dies or the tiny buttons break (this happened with my previous smartphone). If industries were required to design and produce smartphones that last 5 years or more, a good deal of waste could be avoided. But that would reduce their profit and industrialists prefer to pay bribes to politicians to keep everything as it is, no matter how much waste, garbage and destruction of nature this economic model produces. So there is no hope for our civilization.

I want to say thank you so much for peoples who are working hard to save our environment and animals 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

It seems odd that biologists would ironically be aboard an industrial mining ship that exploits the ocean floor thinking they are there in order to show that this exploitation of the sea floor shouldn't be happening, when in fact they are there to show that this exploitation can be done without great impact and allow it to continue like normal. Any real scientist or biologist would flatly refuse to go aboard such a deep mining vessel that destroys the very habitat these scientists are suppose to protect from these very vessels. What do you tell yourself at night to make what you do and where you're doing it from somehow beneficial to the protection of the very things you are meant to study, so that you sleep peacefully at night?

That's great news! Lets screw up every corner of the planet so we can keep buying crap we don't need.
@prometheanknight7377
This attitude of "New technology will save the earth from catastrophe" is very damaging. Rather than changing life habits like, demanding more public transportation option instead of resource intensive electric cars is giving everyone the false impression that they don't have to change their life style, and the existing socio-economic system will solve everything without any fundamental change. This attitude and way of thinking is going to horribly end for all of humanity.

Such an informative and convincing documentary! Respect for whole team who made it happen.

@lantunacv
DW thank you so much for sharing this documentary on Youtube! thanks from the whole Lantuna team to everyone who has watched this documentary and for the messages of encouragement!!!! Sand extraction is a very serious problem in Cape Verde and it hurts the soul to see the sea turtles with their habitat destroyed and the whole landscape destroyed.
@smashakarah5102
Thank you Anna and the Lantuna Conservation team. I really appreciate what you do, and am sure it'll not be in vain.
