Extinction: Not the End of the World?
Overview
From super-sized birds to bizarre insects, millions of species that once roamed the planet are no longer around. Yet while 99% of the species that have lived on Earth have met their demise, some species have survived extinction and thrived.
Combining amazing images, real specimens and interactive installations, this exhibition explores the crucial role that extinction plays in the evolution of life.
As well as bringing to life species that disappeared long ago, the show looks at today's endangered species, such as the tiger and orang-utan, and asks whether conservation can save them.
