Our planet – the only home we have – is at a breaking point. Two-thirds of our Earth’s oceans and three-quarters of its land have been significantly damaged by human activities. The rate of extinction is accelerating at an alarming pace, with estimates suggesting up to one million species could vanish by 2050. This translates to an extinction rate potentially hundreds of times faster than what the planet has witnessed over the last 10 million years. According to insurer Swiss Re, one-fifth of all nations could face complete ecosystem collapse due to the destruction of wildlife and their habitats – resources upon which we ourselves depend for survival.
