Life resembles a symphony, wherein understanding and cherishing every living element - animals, plants, bacterias - are imperative for harmony and good music. Regrettably, humanity has yet the challenge to find its rightful place in this grand orchestra because we can not be the only conductor or put ourselves always on the central role. Life in this planet needs an intelligent balance and our economic system, productive model and populational's demands are not adjusted with the natural resources of the Earth.

The looming threat of a six major extinction, with countless species at the Red List of Endangered Species IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), serves as a stark reminder of our own dangerous trajectory on Earth.

Failure to address this trajectory will result in continued loss of biodiversity, compromising the planet's ability to support current and future generations.

Why should we be concerned about the mass extinction of species?

Species are not solitary entities; they exist within intricate webs of interconnection. Each species plays a role in its ecosystem, contributing to vital services such as clean air, water, and fertile soils crucial for agriculture.

When a species becomes extinct or its population decreases significantly, it disrupts these interactions, impacting the ecosystem functionality and the benefits it provides. Moreover, such disruptions increase the likelihood of further extinctions. Monitoring these trends is crucial as they serve as barometers of overall ecosystem well-being.

Sharp declines in species populations signal ecosystem breakdown, sounding an alarm for broader systemic failures.

Presently, the rate of species extinction is estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher (WWF) than the natural extinction rate— the rate at which species would disappear without human intervention.

While extinction is a natural process, the current pace of population decline and species loss poses a grave threat to essential ecological processes that sustain human life on Earth, including climate stability, predictable rainfall patterns, and productive agricultural and fisheries sectors.

Failure to address this trajectory will result in continued loss of biodiversity, jeopardizing the planet's ability to support current and future generations. Even in the best-case scenario, reversing these losses will take decades, leaving us with a planet less capable of meeting the needs of humanity.

Healthy ecosystems are our life source and loss of biodiversity has serious consequences to us.
