Nairobi Kenya: Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth as well as the natural patterns it creates. According to the United Nations, species are disappearing at a rate that is 50–100 times greater than usual, and this rate is projected to increase dramatically. Roughly 34,000 plant and 5,200 animal species, including one-eighth of the world’s bird species, are currently on the brink of extinction.

Agenda 21, established almost 30 years ago in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, identifies that humanity is at a watershed moment in history, beset by rising poverty, hunger, ill health, and the continued deterioration of the ecosystems on which we all rely for survival. Years later, world leaders continue to prioritise development over the environment. Today’s episode delves into the relationship between biodiversity and our daily lives, such as food, water, and air. We also talk about how nations can grow while preserving biodiversity and lowering pollution.
