We are living in unprecedented and challenging times, giving us both the opportunity and the responsibility to restore the systems that sustain life on Earth: our biodiversity, our food sovereignty, our economies, our climate, our collective relationships, our ancestral knowledge, and our connections to each other and our ecosystems. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that 75% of Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems and 66% of marine environments have been significantly altered by human actions, and approximately 1 million species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades due to ecosystem degradation and loss of habitat, according to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). As of September 2024, while we write these lines, the Amazon rainforest has suffered more than 50,000 fire outbreaks this year, an 80% increase compared to the same period in 2023.
