Sustainable Ecosystems
In today’s world, we are consuming the very foundations of our existence – the forests, the oceans, freshwater systems and the soil much faster than our planet can replenish them. We risk our healthy ecosystems.
Our Earth is losing species at an unprecedented rate as a consequence of habitat destruction, pollution and climate change.
Our oceans, the planet’s blue heart, are under severe threat from overfishing, pollution, climate change and ocean acidification.
