Prescription to ensure the good health of our planet

BIODIVERSITY conservation has been and will continue to be widely promoted as a potent prescription for robust planetary health. Scientists have shared much evidence on the important role the world’s flora and fauna play in sustaining a vibrant planet. Unless the planet's fragile biodiversity is effectively conserved, say climate experts, there will be grave consequences for humanity.

Biodiversity in nature is a key part in life’s complex jigsaw. However, biodiversity scientists are constantly warning that many critical parts of this jigsaw are now under serious threat of extinction because of our own doing.
