THREAD🌿🦑🌾🦟

Along with the #ClimateCrisis, biodiversity loss is the most pressing problem we face today. But it’s hard to understand what this even means.

So here’s a crash-course by @tamarstelling!

This is what the Earth’s living layer actually consists of 1/:
Last May, the @IPBES – like, the United Nations for biodiversity and ecosystems – stated: " a million species are threatened with extinction".

Crap! 💩 But… what is a species? How many do we have and how many have we lost? And how did we not notice this happening?! 2/
We don’t know how many species exist for three reasons:

1. We haven’t discovered all life on earth yet

2. We may accidentally have *rediscovered* some species. Several times (... oops)

3. Biologists disagree about what a species actually *is*

THREAD 👇🏾🌎👇🏿🌍 👇🏼🌏

Storytelling has the power to change the course of history. If there's one story that desperately needs a new ending, it's the #climateemergency.

Last year @EricHolthaus asked:

"What absolutely must change in the next 10 years?"

Here's your vision:

+

In 2020 the most urgent thing we can do is passionately tell others that the #climateemergency exists:

#Climatestrikes will escalate catalysing urgent revolutionary policy to tackle the #climatecrisis

– We'll finally realise that saving the earth means saving ourselves
