Biodiversity is defined by the United Nations as “the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms (…) It forms the web of life, of which humans are integral and upon which people and the planet so fully depend.”

The biodiversity we see today is the result of 4.5 billion years of evolution. We rely on it for crucial aspects of our lives,  including food, water, medicine, and a stable climate. 

Yet about 2,000,000 species are threatened with extinction. Animals are critical to our ecosystems: our forests, our seas, our rivers all depend on them. With fewer animals, the climate will become more extreme, and our environment more vulnerable. 

We’re living in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event. And the scale of the problem is not being fully represented or communicated.

Biodiversity and climate change aren’t two separate problems. They’re different faces of the same crisis. And when one worsens, so does the other. 

Together we have the power to reverse this crisis.

But the clock is ticking — fast.

Join the movement today to help protect and restore biodiversity on our beautiful home planet.
