The loss of biodiversity is accelerating. According to the latest survey by the <a href=\"https:\/\/reports.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_Global_Risks_Report_2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Economic Forum<\/a>, biodiversity loss ranks second among the greatest long-term risks (10-years), directly behind extreme weather events. Biodiversity loss has major implications. About 1\/3 of global food products depend on insect pollination \u2013 that\u2019s triple-digit billions worth of products annually. This example illustrates our dependence on ecosystem services. Scientists and conservation organizations have long been trying to raise awareness of this issue.
