"We do not burn down the Louvre. We do not set fire to the Library of Congress. So why do we go on erasing the database of life itself?
By exploiting the living world, we are dangerously impoverishing our planet, putting our own welfare in danger.
Every day, species are dying, never to come back. Ecosystems around the world are unravelling, leaving many people without access to healthy food, clean water, and other essentials for their daily needs. This is a Crisis of Life, and it is up to us to stop it.
In the „Crisis of Life“ video project, ecologists and activists talk about ways to stop the ongoing biodiversity crisis to ensure the survival of all living beings, including ourselves."
