Wade Davis: Dreams from endangered cultures

Sometimes I dream of being an ethnographer, an anthropologist just so I could have the chance to experience a life that not only almost no-one else gets to see, no-one will get to see anymore in times to come. Enter monoculture.

I just LOVE TED. And I just love what this guy is saying. The 20th century, 300 years from now, will not be remembered for its wars and technological achievements but for the unprecedented destruction of bio- and ethno-diversity.
