"The world is charging towards tipping points for species extinctions,
ecosystem collapse and loss of genetic diversity. Crossing these tipping points
will be devastating for nature and human existence alike.
Avoiding this catastrophe of humanity’s making is the purpose of the 16th
Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological
Diversity (COP16) in Cali, Colombia. COP16 has been reviewing progress on
implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework adopted at COP15 in Montreal,
Canada, in 2022. Progress has been incremental at best.
These pledges, plans and goals, while necessary and commendable, are also far
removed and often intangible for everyday citizens. Collective global action is
inherently political. It moves at glacial pace when urgent action is needed.
The issues can seem so colossal and complex that individuals often feel
powerless. This may mean they do nothing or, worse, add to the problem. But, in
fact, there are five steps individuals can take to help end the biodiversity
crisis."
