We're losing biodiversity globally at an alarming rate, and we need a cornucopia of different plants and animals, for the planet's health and our own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're close to losing our essential diversity. Look at our wheat crops - we rely on a handful of grain crops and plants that we've refined and bred over hundreds of years.
It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for - the whole thing - rather than just one or two stars.
I also have an idea for a book on biodiversity, and why and how we should be conserving it.
We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.
We'll lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than we've lost in the last 65 million years. If we don't find answers to these problems, we're gonna be victims of this extinction event that we're at fault for.
We have decommissioned natural selection and must now look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.
Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.
It's always been a dream of mine, of exploring the living world, of classifying all the species and finding out what makes up the biosphere.
We need to take a leaf out of nature's book. Any species that clones itself will eventually be attacked by a parasite, leading to an inevitable population crash.
Our food is safer and our diets are more diverse than ever before; production methods are becoming increasingly sustainable, clean and efficient; and we are constantly becoming better at protecting biodiversity.
