Humanity is facing existential challenges as experts warn that life on Earth will drastically change within generations due to human activity. The current rates of extinction are much faster than historical mass extinction events, with habitat destruction being the primary driver as land is converted for livestock and agriculture at the expense of biodiversity. Overfishing and pollution are also negatively impacting ocean life. While human innovations have allowed populations to grow, these gains are threatened by the unsustainable way humans are exploiting natural resources and destroying habitats.
