Biodiversity: extinction or collapse?
Biodiversity: extinction or collapse? - Mr Jérôme Bignon, Senator - January 2019

However, despite the increasing volume and reliability of scientific data, public opinion remains sceptical. Scientific research must be encouraged in order to raise awareness of the human origin of biodiversity loss and its consequences for humanity.
