We sometimes forget that we are all part of nature and depend on it for our very existence – now and in the future!
We, as individuals, customers and businesses rely on this diversity of life to provide us with food, fuel, medicine and other essentials we simply cannot live without – such as purification of air and water, prevention of soil erosion, regulation of climate, pollination of crops and material for clothing. Furthermore, the cultural, aesthetic and spiritual value of the natural world is a wonder beyond price.
In summary, healthy biodiversity is essential to human wellbeing, sustainable development and poverty reduction.
Species are the most visible and measurable building blocks of biodiversity.
