These events are not only costly to our economy but devastating, and potentially deadly, to people and animals around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In their landmark Global Assessment, released in May 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) pointed to climate change as the third most important driver of species extinction. But not only does climate impact wildlife, native wildlife can improve climate resilience. For example, whales play a key role in combating climate change. They help to provide up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/us.whales.org\/our-4-goals\/create-healthy-seas\/climate-change\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50% of our oxygen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is yet another potent illustration that societal and individual well-being depends upon flourishing biodiversity and respect for all our fellow creatures. When we treat the environment, plants, animals, and even each other as \u201cresources\u201d to be used until expended, we find ourselves in our current, precarious situation, with collapsing biological and social systems. In short, when we damage one another, other animals, or the planet, we damage ourselves. Conversely, when we value one another, our planet, and all of its lifeforms, we are investing in not only our own happiness but also the well-being of our shared relationships and ecosystems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why we must take actions in our own lives to combat climate change and protect biodiversity<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We must also<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hold corporations and policy-makers around the world accountable. We only have one shared planet; for the well-being of all beings &#8211; now and into the future &#8211; we need to change our current trajectory, and transform our systems to value what really matters.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate change impacts every part of our globe, and it is beginning to affect our daily lives in measurable ways.
