Nothing and no one is spared. Not even nature-based projects that are trying to correct our terrible human footprint. We will have to rethink what we thought we knew about climate change. Once you reach tipping points, it’s be too little too late. Emissions must be cut at source.

2/3 of people globally are projected to live in cities by 2050, & 1 in 5 people will live in an African city!

Every piece of an ecosystem depends on the others, forming a jigsaw puzzle of interdependence.

By losing just one species, an entire ecosystem can collapse.

What it takes to prevent the domino effect of biodiversity loss:
