Biodiversity Losses
The earth is losing biodiversity at a catastrophic rate during Earth's 6th mass extinction event. Urgent action is needed to slow and reverse the effects that we can.
The earth is losing biodiversity at a catastrophic rate—experts believe we are in the 6th mass extinction (an event where 3/4 of species go extinct) of history.

In the following infographic I list key facts that government leaders must observe, and lay out steps they must take:
