We are witnessing the loss of biodiversity at rates never before seen in human history. Nearly a million species face extinction if we do not fundamentally change our relationship with the natural world, according to the world’s largest assessment of biodiversity.
Last week, in the culmination of a process involving 500 biodiversity experts from over 50 countries, and 134 governments negotiated the final form of the Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

IPBES aims to arm policy-makers with the tools to address the relationships between biodiversity and human well-being. It synthesises evidence on the state of biodiversity, ecosystems and natures’ contributions to people on a global scale.
The IPBES Global Assessment provides unequivocal evidence that we need biodiversity for human survival and well-being. To stem unprecedented species decline the assessment sets out the actions governments, the private sector and individuals can take.
Importantly, a whole chapter of the Global Assessment (about one-sixth of the assessment) is dedicated to examining whether existing biodiversity law and policy is adequate. This chapter also outlines ways to address the vortex of biodiversity decline.
If we are to halt the continued loss of nature, then the world’s legal, institutional and economic systems must be reformed entirely. And this change needs to happen immediately […]

Twighlight of the cockroaches Japanese Anime
Insects like cockroaches go through a life cycle in months, where humans live sixty years. When a mutation occurs, even in cockroach larvae, it destroys that family of cockroaches in 5 to 8 generations in accordance with Wertilckis and Busbys, law of destructivle nuclear-mutation. Insects exposed to high-levels of high-level radionuclides like those released at chernobyl and fukushima experience high mutation rates from internal and external exposures. Cesium 137, Cobalt 60 , and Strontium 90 are mutagenic, and teratogenic below 100 billionths of a gram. They are lethal in boluses above 100 billionths of a gram. There are millions of tons of high-level, intermediate level, and high level radionuclide-waste all over the world now. Multiple radionuclide go into the environment from Nuclear-medical facilities, reactors, nuclear submarines, mining, fracking, nuclear weapons manufacturing and storage, and using depleted uranium weapons. Rare-earth mining also creates radionuclide waste.
I saw this silly article distilled from quora on a fluff-site …….

And you may ask yourself, What haven’t I done? That is when even a small scale nuclear war occurs, another tohoku 9.0 earthquake hits, a meteorite stikes, there is a carrington event or any nuclear war. It is when a dozen or so, of the 400 rickety-shit old reactors from around the world, that should have never been built go off. They go off w hundreds tons of st90, cs137, co60, uranium, plutonium, yada yada…..
stored next to them. Highlevel radionuclides, MOX and zirconium will burn relentlessy into the atmosphere in a northern hemisphere already soaked, with manmade and extracted radionuclides.
Such a chain of certain events, will finish off the northern hemisphere and the rest of the world a few months later.
The angry sky will be Black and red and dark with a green glow.
Insects will go first as they did at 3 mile island . People reported no flies within 5 to 10 miles of the 3 mile island meltdown, for months after it occured.
One serious mutation in an insect population gets them quickly. If there is fallout and radionuclide, from bombs or reactor accidents, nuclear mutations come massively and quickly in insect population, as it occured with the blue butterfly extinctions, recorded around fukushima, and in northern japan after Fukushima.
That is because insect and cockroach life cycles are short. Insects and cockroaches depend on laying lots of eggs to keep their strains going, which magnifies the detructive mutation phenomenon, even more.
In cockroach time, the destructive-genetic mutations, from nuclear would destroy them in few months, to a year.
Extinction of local populations, would occur, after the nests and progeny went though a few, to 5 or six generations of destructive-nuclear induced, genetic-mutation, from dna and chromosone breaks, induced by radionuclides and radiation.
Entomologists were irradiating mosquitos and releasing the genetically-nonviable, flawed progeny into the environment in places like s america and Africa, til recently. The malaria-mosquito exterminators, were creating genetically defective mosquitos, to try to kill off mosquito strains in Africa and s America, that are malaria carriers. It was working in many areas. Such drone-mutant strategies are still employed in some areas, with genetically modified insects.
Once radionucleides do their dirty-work, no amount of genetic engineering can restore a species or sub-group. The nucleoapes, generals and wingnuts would probably want you to believe diferently. They would say that Marvel Comix Dr. X is developing nuclear resistant cockroaches and other such nonsense. It is the same far-out science fantasy-brain-washing memes, they have used for 70 years.
This dumn mentalfloss fluffpiece-article stinks of propaganda and bullshit.
No doubt, A feelgood article in the face of the ultimate human insanity going on now, as crazy Trump is poised to use tactical nukes on iran as Dick Cheney wanted to do in 2005 . Such an attack will surely lead to larger scale war, massive depleted uranium usage and larger nuclear detonations.
Recently THE INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST, TIM SHORROCK WROTE A PIECE FOR THE NATION, That exposes Trump and his neocon buddies, true intentions in N Korea. Tim has been in DC for 20 years. He was raised in Japan and S Korea.

Fluff-nuclear feel good articles, implying that any life on earth can exist, as we flood the world with radionuclides are all part of the game.
The beautiful and bittersweet, Japanese Anime’ “Twighlight of The Cockroaches,” is all at once, Sad
ironic, and allegorical in the face of Fukushima. In the face of the fact that the death rate from cancer and everything else in Japan are now 10 times higher in Japan, than before fukushima.
Any nuclear war, will probaly set off rickety reactors and fuel pools, in the northern hemisphere, fukushima-style.
Each reactor and fuel pool containing the fallout and, radionuclide equivalent of 10 thousand nuclear bombs.
Life support on earth destroyed,
when the hundreds of tons of nuclear waste dumped into the arctic, starts bubbling up from the depths. When massive nuclear-armed nuclear submarines and other nuclear-powered vessels, have core meltdowns in the middle of the oceans, from emf flashes and nuclear events, adding to the final nuclear inferno.
The human genome destroyed, all animal and insect genomes destroyed.
No one wants to talk about these things. The propagandists, the fluffs, the generals, the fools want you to accept the cutesy meme that cockroaches can survive a nuclear war or any dna based life will.
This comment will probably be censored as people do not like dissidents and truth-tellers
