In recent decades, we have noticed that the Earth's biodiversity is declining, populations are shrinking, species are disappearing and new species are developing. Do we want to live in conditions that will make it more difficult for us to survive than it is today?

Biodiversity is one of the world's most precious and noble features. It is an essential component of ecosystem services on which we all depend. Slovenia has among the highest European biodiversity, which is not sufeficiently recognized and therefore not sufficiently appreciated.
