Today we call nature “biodiversity”. It constitutes the complex web of life on earth. Human beings, animals, plants and micro-organisms are all part of this web of life. However we are currently witnessing a steady loss of biodiversity. Climate change, the exploitation of natural resources and pollution are just some of the factors that place biodiversity at risk. Humanity has rarely faced a challenge as significant as ensuring the survival of our species through the sustainable use of the living world of which we are a part. Ever since humans mastered fire, invented tools, and discovered agriculture, nature has been viewed as a source of strength and growth on which we depend.
