BIODIVERSITY LOSS

WHAT IS IT DOING TO US?

Increasing the economic cost

In real life processes like pollination, irrigation, soil reclamation and other things that would have to be paid for if nature couldn't take care of it on its own. Destroying the chain means simply adding cost.

Reduced Food Security

In much of the world, this is happening on farms, too, where foreign breeds of cattle are being imported, pushing out natives. Such issues make species more vulnerable to disease, drought, and changes in climate.

Increased Contact With Disease

At the same time, habitat fragmentation brings humans in closer and more frequent contact with these disease carrying species.

Unpredictable Weather

Unseasonable weather, extreme weather, and weather that does not perform to historical norms is a huge problem that can lead to drought, destruction, and displacement.

Loss of Livelihoods

Whether the cause is pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification, or a combination of these and more, humans are tied to the downfall of the ecosystems that surround them.

More than anything, when people finally look up from their laptops and out their windows, what are they going to see?
