Biodiversity: what impact do we have and what can your company do?

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!
