1 million animal and plant species on our planet are threatened by extinction. The effects of each extinction might not be directly observed, but will be felt worldwide. With each species that we lose, ecosystems destabilize and food chains are altered, leaving remaining organisms fighting to adapt to a world that is shifting much too quickly around them. This International Day of Biological Diversity, get involved with your local conservation and sustainability organisations to learn more about how human activity has impacted our environment, and what you can do to help. Visit www.stewardshipcommons.com to learn about the initiatives our contributors are championing to make a difference on our planet. With collective impact, we can shape our future to benefit both humans and nature.
