Biodiversity Loss

The loss of a single species of plant or animal can have dramatic and far-reaching consequences for an entire ecosystem, this phenomenon is referred to as biodiversity loss. Biodiversity loss decreases humanity’s resilience against extreme events, leaves our crops increasingly vulnerable to disease and pests, makes finding new medicines more challenging, as well as other negative consequences.
