Wildlife and habitats are declining at an “unprecedented” rate worldwide which directly threatens human beings, a major new study has warned.
Up to a million species of plants and animals are at risk of extinction, a greater number than ever before in human history.
Many could vanish within decades, the UN-backed global assessment reveals.
Scientists warn that the natural world is deteriorating faster than ever as a direct result of human activity, eroding “the very foundations” of economies, livelihoods, food, health and quality of life worldwide.
A huge transformation is needed across the economy and society to protect and restore nature, which provides people with food, medicines and other materials, crop pollination, fresh water, and quality of life.

Funny, I killed 50 snails in my garden this morning. Most Ever!!
Maybe in the s-hole cities but not outside my house, especially after all this rain. And while we’re at it, same for the supposedly rising sea level at my beach condo over the last 20 years.
A couple things that will be around no matter what.. cockroaches and corrupt politicians.
Well..Nature needs to rid us of slugs... they’re like Democrats.
“...many could vanish in decades.”
They’re all going to be gone in 12 years, so...
Too damn many species as it is. A million less would be a good start.
Maybe we could get rid of that whole damn binomial nomenclature thingy too. Simplify everything if we only had one name to remember.

Isn’t it a funny coincidence, that the only way to save the earth is to give Liberals complete and total control of everything.
Redundancy is frowned upon around here.
Unnatural behavior is on the rise. Is that what they mean?
Dinosaurs went extinct, but this is worse. Got it.
I killed a whole buncha ants yesterday. They bit me. I stomped them. Survival of the big foot.
Attention all Liberals, please report to your assigned State: Physician-assisted death or “aid in dying” is legal in nine jurisdictions: California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, New Jersey (Starting August 1, 2019), Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.
Someone, somewhere recently purposely set fire to about 20 beehives. As I remember, the proprietor wasn’t happy but said bees are in good shape and this loss of about 1/2 million bees was a spit in the bucket.
Please name the one million species. Thank you in advance.
declining to do what?......................
Read the link....good for a laugh.
Maybe all those species should adapt and evolve, survival of the fittest and all that.
Because the UN would never, ever lie to us...
