Prepared by 145 experts from 50 countries, the 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) confirms nature’s alarming decline. Today, the majority of ice-free land (55%) is heavily used by human activity (housing, cultivated areas, grazing areas). 75% of the landenvironment and 40% of the marine environment also show “major signs of degradation”, stress the authors of the report.
