COP 16 at the bedside of biodiversity

These working meetings made it possible to highlight, once again, the fragility of biodiversity on our planet, biodiversity to which we, humans, belong. It also includes the interactions that occur between animals, plants, microorganisms and their living environments.
It is not just a matter of proclaiming that we must save some of the most endangered animal or plant species, but of remembering that we draw the basis of our existence from biodiversity.
Among the many services that nature provides us, let us recall pollination which allows us to have fruits and vegetables, the mitigation of soil erosion, the recycling of organic waste, the natural purification of water, the production of oxygen in the air, but also the natural sequestration of carbon by forests, oceans, soils and subsoils.
We eat, we dress ourselves, we take care of ourselves thanks to biodiversity. It is therefore all the more necessary to highlight the links between the current biodiversity crisis and climate change, both caused by human activities.
This COP 16 will therefore have had the merit of adopting a text which places biodiversity and climate change on the same level and underlines their interdependence.

How does this interdependence translate?
