What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity is a term that represents the total variety of all life on Earth. That ´s  a big thin to sum up.

Thoussands of different world habitats, millions of differents species, billion of different individuals, and the trillions of different characteristic they all have.

The total biodiversity of our planet is inmense, which is a good thing because the more biodiversity, the more secure all life on Earth is, including ourselves. 

Only when life is at it´s most varied, vigurous, biodiverse, can e hope to thrive.

We may not know it, but we need towering forest across one third of the land´s surface to lock away carbon and keep the climate stable.

We need millions of pollinators and  billions of soil organisms and megatons of plankton to keep the food we eat in supply.

e need stange plants deep in jungle to create our medicines, and coral reefs and mangrove swamps to protects the coast we depend upon.

Our planet´s biodiversity provides all the things we need for free, but it will only do so if there´s lot´s of it.

At the moment, it´s under attack.

In the last 50 years, our activities have dramatically reduced biodiversity across the globe.

We´ve snuffed out habitats , reduced populations of wild animal by 60%, and even driven whole speies extinct.

The number of lions in Africa has dropped by 65%. The number of individual flying insects in Europe has dropped by 75% .

The number of bluefin tuna in the Pacific has dropped by 95%.

Biodiversity is dropping every whereand fast. This is catastrophic for nature, and there fore ourselves.

We talk about climatechange a lot, but biodiversity loss is ass impostant an issue.

How do we stop this loss of life? How do we ensure that biodiversity, our planet´s vital statistic begins to increase again? infact, we already know exactly what to do.
