How/where are wildlife and nature in collapse? Most extinctions have been on islands (including Australia) as a result of the introduction of non-native species (accidental or deliberate) or the destruction of habitats e.g. deforestation for farming NOT climate change.

It is a common but factually incorrect belief that the only significant risk of extinction is on islands - there was an historical wave of island extinctions but today mainland species are increasingly at risk. See Q&A 9 here ipbes.net/news/million-threa…
