More than 600 scientists have written to the prime minister and the presidents of the US and China, warning that talks to reverse the next mass extinction could fail unless a controversial energy source is scrapped.
That matters because healthy, old forests house things like mosses, which can slow flooding, and pollinating insects and birds and can soak up more carbon dioxide, he says.
But because one million species globally are now at risk of extinction,"we have to do everything we can to reverse the loss of biodiversity worldwide," Prof Antonelli argued. Many countries class bioenergy as renewable in spite of it emitting more climate-heating carbon dioxide than oil or gas. The letter accuses the industry of clearcutting forest, which means cutting down entire sections rather than keeping continuous cover, and is supposed to be particularly bad for biodiversity.
