Biodiversity is critical to Global Sustainability
Biodiversity 24 Apr 23
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. We cannot have sustainable, productive ecosystems without maintaining biodiversity. Humans depend on the healthy functionality of ecosystems which maintain the basic planetary life support systems we rely on every day.
Sadly, global biodiversity loss is occurring at alarming rates, an estimated 100-1,000 times faster than pre-human levels, and the threats are numerous, including global deforestation, urbanization, climate change, overexploitation of fisheries and marine environments, industrial and agricultural expansion, pollution, invasive species etc.
