Are we a drop in the ocean of nature conservation?
Nature is disappearing at an alarming rate and the earth is on the brink of several tipping points which, if current trends continue, will have catastrophic consequences on all life forms. The next five years as we get closer to the 2030 Agenda, will determine the future of life on earth. This is the conclusion of the WWF’s Living Planet Report 2024, which provides in-depth insight into global trends based on decades of research and study of ecosystems and species. Environmental systems are undergoing profound upheavals because of climate change, pollution, and over-exploitation of natural resources. It paints an end-of-day picture but also emphasizes the power to change this otherwise imminent future, to restore the balance of nature. The latter is where our efforts should lie. But who is ‘us or ‘we’?. For Bhutan, a dot on the globe but nonetheless a conservation champion, a persevering marathon runner who has put in years and decades of commitment to environmental conservation, what does this foreboding message mean? Are we simply a drop in the ocean? Or are we drops that make the ocean?
