As world leaders gather for the COP16 UN biodiversity conference in Cali, Colombia, scientists are sounding the alarm about an impending crisis that threatens Earth’s ecosystems, The Guardian reported.
With alarming declines in wildlife populations and critical ecosystems nearing tipping points, experts warn that humanity is on the brink of irreparable damage, arguing that the root cause of biodiversity loss lies in prevailing economic and societal values.
They stress that fundamental changes in global systems are necessary to reverse this troubling trajectory, pointing out that without immediate action, the world will face a future marked by increased hunger, unstable climates, and extreme weather events.
