Six new papers expose the systematic destruction of natural ecosystems after the installation of wind turbines, from wildlife to habitat destruction.

The widespread wildfires in Australia are having disastrous effects on Australian wildlife. These immediate issues will soon turn into long-term effects for the future with their habitats and food sources depleted. The Morris Animal Foundation, a global leader in advancing animal health, says they’ll allocate $1 million dollars for scientific research grants that will fund major studies to help.

Most deforestation, which is a leading driver of wildlife destruction, happens due to the demand for animal products. The more meat, dairy, and eggs that people eat, the more wildlife and habitat get destroyed. This destruction hastens climate change, too.

BIODIVERSITY IS LIFE! Every day species’ extinctions are continuing at up to 1,000 times or more the natural rate. The extinction of species, habitat destruction, land conversion for agriculture, climate change, pollution and the spread of invasive species are only some of the threats responsible for today's crisis. With the current biodiversity loss, we are witnessing the greatest extinction crisis. These extinctions irreversible and pose a serious threat to our health and wellbeing.
