"The Earth is our home. Unless we preserve the rest of life, as a sacred duty, we will be endangering ourselves by destroying the home in which we evolved, and on which we completely depend.” – Edward O. Wilson.
Biodiversity is the foundation of life as we know it. From the air we breathe to the food we eat, the water we drink, and the medicines we rely on, everything stems from the Earth’s rich biological resources. Yet, in just 500 years, human activity has driven hundreds of species to extinction, and in the last century, we’ve caused ecosystems to change at a pace never seen before.
This accelerated loss of biodiversity has brought us to the brink of a sixth mass extinction—one that would have taken millennia to occur naturally. But here’s the thing: we’re not isolated from nature. Everything is connected, and our choices, no matter how small, ripple through the web of life.
In this episode, Ximena and Lorenzo explore the deep impact of biodiversity loss, what it means for our future, and how every action we take as individuals, families, and communities can contribute to the global solution. The time to act is now—because the world needs all you can give.
