Our planet now faces a global extinction crisis never witnessed by humankind. Scientists predict that more than 1 million species are on track for extinction in the coming decades.

Each time a species goes extinct, the world around us unravels a bit. The consequences are profound, not just in those places and for those species but for all of us. These are tangible consequential losses, such as crop pollination and water purification, but also spiritual and cultural ones.

Getting up to speed on the wildlife extinction crisis? Go to the link in our bio and select this post for a quick look at what’s happening, why it matters and what we can do about it 🐺🦋 

[Video description: Spoken audio with captions plays. The video begins with artistic renderings of extinct species before showing species that are currently imperiled.]
