UN Biodiversity Report
According to a report issued in Paris 2016 by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), there is overwhelming evidence that there is a dramatic increase in the rate of extinctions that is unprecedented in human history that is accelerating. The report determines that the current global response is insufficient. There needs to be ‘transformative changes’ made in order to protect nature. The report goes on to show that resistance from special interests can be overcome for public good. See UN Biodiversity Report
