All life forms that have evolved alongside us are the bricks of the walls that sustain our common home: if you remove too many bricks, the walls collapse. And a collapsed ecological balance will jeopardize the achievement of all the SDGs. As the UN Special Rapporteur John Knox recently pointed out in his powerful report on biodiversity and human rights85, the loss and degradation of biodiversity and ecosystems undermines sustainable development and human rights, including the rights to life, health and an adequate standard of living, which is the exact promise of the SDGs. Yet its services which we use every day for free are dangerously taken for granted. To date, our development model has been based on destroying nature, rather than nurturing its resources. It is now time we focus on the solutions which we know exist.
