Good afternoon everyone.

I’d like to take a moment to talk about biodiversity—something that impacts all of us, whether we think
about it daily or not. Biodiversity refers to the incredible variety of life on Earth, from the smallest
microorganisms to the most complex ecosystems like rainforests and coral reefs. But I’m curious—how
many of us here have thought about how biodiversity directly affects our everyday lives?

Biodiversity provides us with essentials like clean air, fresh water, food, and even medicine. Think about
the food on your plate—almost all of it relies on pollination or healthy soils, both of which depend on a
diversity of species. But here's a question for all of you: How often do we connect the dots between
these basic things we rely on and the ecosystems that make them possible?

Unfortunately, our planet’s biodiversity is under threat. Species are disappearing at an unprecedented
rate due to human activities like deforestation, pollution, and climate change. I’d love to hear what you
think—do you believe we, as individuals, can actually make a difference? And if so, what actions do you
think we should prioritize?

For me, it’s clear that protecting biodiversity isn’t just about saving plants and animals. It’s about
securing our own future. What are some ways you think we can contribute to this effort, both locally and
globally?

In the end, I think we can all agree that biodiversity is like the planet’s safety net. If we don’t protect it,
we’re putting ourselves at risk. But the good news is, we can still do something about it—together. I’d
love to open this up for discussion—what are your thoughts on the role of biodiversity in our lives, and
how can we take meaningful action?
