Biodiversity loss: What it is and how to stop it
It’s important to recognize that, although human economic activity is a direct driver of biodiversity loss, this is because capitalism as an economic system has failed to establish a healthy, regenerative exchange with nature—what is known as metabolic rift. This ultimately undermines human health, economic viability, and global farming capacity. This process must be halted and reversed to ensure human survival and a thriving, sustainable economy.
Biodiversity must be a mandatory part of the education of all people around the world and a central pillar of all economic policy. With that, we could have hope, as an agricultural revolution in our near future could halt and, eventually, reverse the worst outcomes of mass extinction.
