Protection of Biodiversity
The biodiversity crisis is inadvertently linked to the climate crisis. Climate change has a dramatic impact on nature and natural habitats, accelerating biodiversity loss. Conversely, safeguarding natural habitats and restoring nature can mitigate climate change. In the last 40 years, human activities have resulted in a drop in the global wildlife population by 60%, threatening both our resilience towards pandemics, food security, etc.
World Economic Forum has pinpointed biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as one of the biggest threats to humanity in the next decade. The European Union’s state-of-play assessment in the fight to revert loss of biodiversity concludes that restoration efforts have been small-scale, protection incomplete, and implementation and enforcement of international regulation weak. Loss of biodiversity as well as climate change is an irreversible battle against time. Despite many legal remedies, accelerating implementation and disseminating best practices appear to be decisive factors in reverting the disastrous trend.
As Sir David Attenborough has so aptly put it: “Nature once determined how we survive. Now we determine how nature survives.”
