Biodiversity

Biodiversity continues to decline each year.

We have little time to deal with the issues of climate, energy and biodiversity.

Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world.

We are living through a biodiversity crisis.

A biodiversity sanctuary in Brazil called The Pantanal is threatened by deforestation.

Biodiversity has never had it so bad.

Climate change impacts on biodiversity are already being observed in alteration of the timing of critical biological events such as spring bud burst, and substantial range shifts of many species. In the longer term, there is an increased risk of species extinction.

Invasive species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.

Invasive species can lead to the extinction of native plants and animals, destroy biodiversity, and permanently alter habitats.

Earth is losing plants, animals and clean water at a dramatic rate, according to four new U.N. scientific reports that provide the most comprehensive and localized look at the state of biodiversity.
