This translates to an extinction rate potentially hundreds of times faster than what the planet has witnessed over the last 10 million years. According to insurer Swiss Re, one-fifth of all nations could face complete ecosystem collapse due to the destruction of wildlife and their habitats – resources upon which we ourselves depend for survival.
