Relevant to my previous post, here is another article about the tragic ongoing loss of biodiversity.
TITLE -- "Biodiversity: State of Emergency"
Key points:
◘ By 2050, 38-46% of animal and plant species could be wiped out from the planet.
◘ Of particular concern are Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia, which are more vulnerable to soil impoverishment.
◘ Within 30 years, the number of people living in arid regions could rise from 2.7 to 4 billion, increasing the risk of migration crises.
◘ Land degradation and climate change, leading to declining crop yields and social and economic instability, are likely to force 50-700 million people to migrate by the middle of the century.
