The loss of the world’s biological diversity poses an existential threat to the future of the planet. As key species are declining at alarming rates, some estimates point to 1,000 times the natural rates, natural systems begin to unravel and fall apart and their ability to provide for human well-being erodes. The key threats jeopardizing the survival of this planet’s wildlife are habitat loss, overconsumption of wildlife, climate change, illegal trade, invasive species and pollution.
