Karen Fifield MNZM on The World Species Congress - Go Big or Go Home
- Wellington Zoo
- Experts estimate that the accelerated loss of species we’re seeing today is between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. In other words, we’re losing species populations 1,000-10,000 times faster than we would be if humans weren’t walking the Earth. There is no doubt that humans are the No. 1 threat to wildlife and wild places; we're in a biodiversity crisis of our own making. So, let’s do something about it. Together. Now.
