Approximately 1 million animal and plant species are currently at risk of extinction, with many facing this fate within the next few decades—more than at any other time in human history. Ecosystems, species, and wild populations, along with the diversity of domesticated plants and animals, are rapidly declining or disappearing altogether. The intricate web of life that sustains our planet is unraveling, largely due to human actions, posing a serious threat to human well-being across every region of the globe. As this vital network frays, it threatens not only the natural world but the very foundation of human survival, casting a shadow over our collective future. ——— This fine art collection champions hope, driving wildlife conservation across Africa. © #DeannaDeShea deannadeshea.com #conservation #wildlifeplanet #veganfortheplanet #naturelovers #earthcapture #extinction #biodiversity SOURCE: UN
