While it is no longer possible to be a climate skeptic and remain credible today, some still doubt the significance of the impacts of human activity on biodiversity. Others believe that biodiversity will recover. If the time frame we choose is five million years, yes, biodiversity will certainly recover. During the six hundred million years preceding us, it has seen others. But it will redeploy without us, because natural history teaches us that a species is never eternal. If this time frame is on the order of a century or two, we have real reasons to be concerned about the biodiversity we will leave to our great-great-grandchildren. This book seeks to take stock of the situation in order to propose the best ways to bounce back and take part in a necessary universal momentum to sustainably change the catastrophic trends that fuel our daily media.
