Earth is losing animal species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural rate. “Ecosystems, species, wild populations, local varieties and breeds of domesticated plants and animals are shrinking, deteriorating or vanishing. The essential, interconnected web of life on Earth is getting smaller and increasingly frayed. This loss is a direct result of human activity and constitutes a direct threat to human well-being in all regions of the world.”
(Prof. Josef Settele, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung, Leipzig) at the 7th Session of the IPBES Plenary (The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) in April/May 2019 at the UNESCO head-quarters in Paris.
