Biodestruction

While climate change grabs all the headlines, biodiversity loss is already a crisis of catastrophic proportions and still getting worse. The UN’s Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 report reviewed the 20 biodiversity goals set by the world in 2010 in Aichi, Japan. Not a single goal was met and only six were partially met. We urgently need science-based biodiversity targets and we need the agenda to be picked up by business. The biggest cause of destruction is land-use change – especially conversion of ecosystems to agriculture and urban development. We need to ask cities and companies about their nature regeneration strategies.
