In my textbook Chapter 14 How Biological Diversity Evolves page 269 relates to the TED talk. The chapter relates to the TED talk because it stated how species are going through a mass extinction. The textbook Campbell Essential Biology gives an example of “oil spills, entanglement in commercial fishing nets, and diseases are among the causes of declining sea otter populations.” (p.269) That connects to the TED talk because tapirs are becoming extinct because their habitat is getting destroyed by the construction of cities and there is a lot of tapir road kill.
