Earth's 36 biodiversity hotspots cover just 2.4% of land but contain over half the world's endemic species. These vital ecosystems face severe threats but targeted conservation has proven effective—and individual actions from conscious consumption to advocacy can help preserve them.
Current extinction rates are 100-1,000 times higher than normal, threatening 25% of species by 2050. While debate continues over whether we're in a true mass extinction, habitat loss, climate change, and overexploitation are driving unprecedented biodiversity decline—but conservation efforts show we can reverse the trend if we act now.
Insect populations are collapsing worldwide due to pesticides, habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, threatening food security and ecosystems. But solutions exist: policy reforms, habitat restoration, regenerative agriculture, and individual actions can reverse the trend if we act now.
