The conversation revolves around a discussion about the destructive impact of humans on various animal species. The speaker, Felipe Lesincon, introduces the topic by mentioning the carnival in Olinda, Brazil, and his childhood nickname, "Olinda's doll". He then delves into the destructive nature of humans, stating that we are the most destructive animal on Earth, causing a trail of destruction wherever we go. He also mentions the extinction of many animal species due to human activities.
Felipe then proceeds to discuss five animal species that have gone extinct due to human activities:
1. **Atlas Bear**: The speaker explains that the Atlas Bear was a population of brown bears in Africa. The bears were taken to Africa by the Romans for entertainment, and hunting them led to their extinction.
2. **Western Black Rhino**: The speaker discusses the Western Black Rhino, a subspecies of rhinoceros that was hunted for its ivory and thick skin. The species was declared extinct in 2011.
3. **Tasmanian Wolf**: The Tasmanian Wolf was a marsupial that lived at the top of Australia's food chain. The Dingo, a wild dog from Australia, was introduced to the island and competed with the Tasmanian Wolf for prey, leading to the wolf's extinction.
4. **Zanzibar Leopard**: The Zanzibar Leopard was the largest land carnivore on Unguja Island, Tanzania. The human beings on the island spread a rumor that the leopards had pacts with witches, leading to their hunting and eventual extinction.
5. **Javan Tiger**: The Javan Tiger was a subspecies of tiger found on Java Island, Indonesia. The tiger was hunted for sport and declared extinct in 1999.
Felipe concludes the discussion by emphasizing that humans are the ones who need to go extinct, and that the Earth will find a way in about 2 million years.
