Did you know that food production is the single biggest threat to nature? We all need to eat, but the way we do it today is the main cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss – the treasured variety of life on Earth. It is also a major contributor to the climate crisis – responsible for around one-third of all global greenhouse emissions.
Young generations are the ones who will be most affected by nature and biodiversity loss. That is why more and more young people around the globe are speaking up to protect our planet. Finally, world leaders are starting to understand that the planetary crisis is an intergenerational crisis, too.
Join the L.A. Zoo Learning & Engagement team on an exploration of the biodiversity that’s all around. Then, go exploring yourself! Share your observations and adventures with us on social media @lazoo. We’d love to see them.
Our Biodiversity Ambassadors are working together to shape policy, combat climate change and protect wildlife and their habitats through advocacy, lobbying and community building. Together, we have the power to stop extinction.
