Crash and Conservation: A Global Reflection

This chapter explores a major incident where a faulty security update led to the crash of millions of Windows computers, costing around $10 billion and causing chaos in sectors like healthcare and transportation. The discussion humorously contrasts this event with the historical millennium bug while also addressing conservation issues related to declining animal populations, particularly elephants. It concludes with an optimistic outlook on recent conservation successes and the potential for restoring animal populations to their natural habitats.
