Biodiversity provides essential ecological services, fundamental to economic prosperity. With COP16 on biodiversity currently taking place in Colombia, let’s take a look at the causes of biodiversity collapse, and identify the levers for action within your reach. Our collective and individual actions have a direct impact on the health of ecosystems. The good news? 💪

The main causes of marine biodiversity erosion :

1️⃣ Overexploitation of resources: overfishing, hunting, logging and other raw materials threaten animal and plant populations.

2️⃣ Habitat destruction: land artificialisation, deforestation and urbanization deprive species of their natural habitats.

3️⃣ Global warming: our carbon emissions are causing temperatures to rise, transforming ecosystems and upsetting the living conditions of species, which are becoming extinct or being forced to migrate.

4️⃣ Pollution: from plastic waste to chemical pollutants, our environment is deteriorating under the weight of pollution.

5️⃣ Invasive species: unintentionally imported as we travel, these species destabilize ecosystems and threaten local species.

So how can your company take action? 🌱 The possibilities are numerous: raise awareness among your teams, rethink your practices and value chains, organize concrete actions to mobilize your employees, support projects dedicated to protecting biodiversity… A multitude of ways to take action on your own scale!
