Mass extinction: What so our children's children shall proud of us?

SDG 13 SDG 15

Biodiversity loss affects economic systems and human society. Humans rely on various plants, animals, and other organisms for food, building materials, and medicines, and their availability as commodities is important to many cultures.

The loss of biodiversity among these critical natural resources threatens global food security and the development of new pharmaceuticals to deal with future diseases. Simplified, homogenized ecosystems can also represent an aesthetic loss, (UBC President Santa J. Ono, 2020).

It is not at all interesting if our grandchildren would just come to be told that the elephant was look like this, or the trees were like this.
If we take action, the right action - as the report proposes - we can lead transition to a sustainable planet.
