According to the IPCC, 2019: Climate Change and Land report, 75% of Land on the planet and 66% of oceans have severely altered by humans. Approx one million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction, due in large part to a loss of their natural habitat. Now we should take to safeguard the natural world and help restore ecosystems to be whole and functioning. We can only achieve ecological balance when the native species that have gone extinct are restored. Now it is time to help nature heal by rewinding the Earth.
