#Biodiversity—the variety of all life on Earth—has captured the world's attention.
@guardian notes in its Word of the Week, "No one talked "biodiversity" (for "biological diversity") until it began vanishing."

The @IPBES #GlobalAssessment Report identifies changes in land and sea use as the most significant direct driver of changes in nature.
To halt and reverse #biodiversity loss and the degradation of nature, we need more sustainable #agricultural practices and food systems.
