Protecting biodiversity is a way to safeguard the future.

The mismanagement and destruction largely contribute to ecosystem imbalance and loss of biodiversity, which is detrimental to not only wildlife but humans as well. WWF Malaysia conservation director Dr Henry Chan points out the strong interrelationship between climate change, biodiversity loss and human wellbeing.
“Everything we do depends on maintaining the delicate web of diverse interactions, as it affects our temperature regulation, food security and water accessibility,” says Chan. An August 2021 report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirmed that there’s no chance of undoing the damage already caused by global warming, but that doesn't mean nothing can be done.Humans remain completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for daily sustenance, medication, fuel, shelter, and more despite technological advances.
The CBD is the international legal instrument for"the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources" that has been ratified by 196 nations. Chan adds that WWF-Malaysia has come up with a 10-year strategy to reverse the decline of nature and transform Malaysia into a sustainable nation by 2050.
“Malaysia’s current system allows pursuing limitless economic growth without proper regulation. It became a huge source of injustice and exploiting the planet.” Globally, Greenpeace is calling for a commitment to bold targets that protect at least 30% of lands and oceans by 2030, with a clear plan for how to get there in partnership with local communities and enough funding and resources to make it happen.Unsustainable human activity and mankind’s seemingly insatiable appetite to consume have dramatically impacted nature and climate, human health and wellbeing, security and economic development.
